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

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

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

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

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

Most people say that it is the intellect which makes a great scientist. They are wrong: it is character.

All the great things are simple, and many can be expressed in a single word: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope.

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

There are many of us that are willing to do great things for the Lord, but few of us are willing to do little things.

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