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.

The greatest discovery of all time is that a person can change his future by merely changing his attitude.

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

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

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

Death comes to all, but great achievements build a monument which shall endure until the sun grows cold.

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

One sees great things from the valley only small things from the peak.

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