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

The great thing in the world is not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving.

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

Only passions, great passions can elevate the soul to great things.

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.

People respond when you tell them there is a great future in front of you, you can leave your past behind.

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

Character may be manifested in the great moments, but it is made in the small ones.

My success was not based so much on any great intelligence but on great common sense.
