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

Great things are not accomplished by those who yield to trends and fads and popular opinion.

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

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

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

Silence is one of the great arts of conversation.

A constant struggle, a ceaseless battle to bring success from inhospitable surroundings, is the price of all great achievements.

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

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

Unless you choose to do great things with it, it makes no difference how much you are rewarded, or how much power you have.
