Beware of little expenses. A small leak will sink a great ship.

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

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

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

If you cannot do great things, do small things in a great way.

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

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

Silence is the element in which great things fashion themselves together.

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

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