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

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

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

All difficult things have their origin in that which is easy, and great things in that which is small.

Nothing great in the world has ever been accomplished without passion.

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

To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream not only plan, but also believe.

The great thing in the world is not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving.

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

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