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

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

There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.

A little thought and a little kindness are often worth more than a great deal of money.

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

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

Small opportunities are often the beginning of great enterprises.

Great dreams of great dreamers are always transcended.

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

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