Suffering becomes beautiful when anyone bears great calamities with cheerfulness, not through insensibility but through greatness of mind.

There is no pain so great as the memory of joy in present grief.

Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them.

Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly.

If you cannot do great things, do small things in a great way.

The greatest way to live with honor in this world is to be what we pretend to be.

To walk around with an ego is a bad thing. To have confidence in yourself is a great thing.

Great minds discuss ideas average minds discuss events small minds discuss people.

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

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