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

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

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

Hate is too great a burden to bear. It injures the hater more than it injures the hated.

Every happening, great and small, is a parable whereby God speaks to us, and the art of life is to get the message.

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

Many great actions are committed in small struggles.

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

A great part of courage is the courage of having done the thing before.

Unless you choose to do great things with it, it makes no difference how much you are rewarded, or how much power you have.
