Little minds are tamed and subdued by misfortune but great minds rise above them.

Great dreams of great dreamers are always transcended.

All great and beautiful work has come of first gazing without shrinking into the darkness.

Enthusiasm is the mother of effort, and without it nothing great was ever achieved.

There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.

After climbing a great hill, one only finds that there are many more hills to climb.

Death comes to all, but great achievements build a monument which shall endure until the sun grows cold.

If you listen to your fears, you will die never knowing what a great person you might have been.

Pray that your loneliness may spur you into finding something to live for, great enough to die for.

Character, in great and little things, means carrying through what you feel able to do.
