Silence is one of the great arts of conversation.

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

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

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

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

There is no pain so great as the memory of joy in present grief.

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

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

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

Great minds discuss ideas average minds discuss events small minds discuss people.
