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

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

Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them.

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.

Only passions, great passions can elevate the soul to great things.

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

There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.

A great pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do.
