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

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

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

Great dreams of great dreamers are always transcended.

Little minds are tamed and subdued by misfortune but great minds rise above them.

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

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

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

People with great gifts are easy to find, but symmetrical and balanced ones never.

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