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

A constant struggle, a ceaseless battle to bring success from inhospitable surroundings, is the price of all great achievements.

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

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

Silence is the element in which great things fashion themselves together.

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

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

To be conscious that you are ignorant of the facts is a great step to knowledge.

I believe in the fundamental truth of all great religions of the world.

Bitter experience has taught us how fundamental our values are and how great the mission they represent.
