Every great work, every big accomplishment, has been brought into manifestation through holding to the vision, and often just before the big achievement, comes apparent failure and discouragement.

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

Little minds are tamed and subdued by misfortune but great minds rise above them.

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

That some achieve great success, is proof to all that others can achieve it as well.

A little thought and a little kindness are often worth more than a great deal of money.

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

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

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

Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly.
