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

Great minds discuss ideas average minds discuss events small minds discuss people.

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

After climbing a great hill, one only finds that there are many more hills to climb.

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.

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

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

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

Our greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising up every time we fail.
