Bitter experience has taught us how fundamental our values are and how great the mission they represent.

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

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

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

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

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

Most great people have attained their greatest success just one step beyond their greatest failure.

Small opportunities are often the beginning of great enterprises.

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

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