No great man lives in vain. The history of the world is but the biography of great men.
The first step toward greatness is to be honest.
We must remember that, within each difficulty, the seed for its solution is stored, and quite possibly the seed of greatness is there, too, just waiting to be found.
The Black skin is not a badge of shame, but rather a glorious symbol of national greatness.
There is no greatness where there is no simplicity, goodness and truth.
The herd seek out the great, not for their sake but for their influence; and the great welcome them out of vanity or need.
There are no great men, only great challenges that ordinary men are forced by circumstances to meet.
Take those chances and you can achieve greatness, whereas if you go conservative, you'll never know. I truly believe what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Even if you fail, learning and moving on is sometimes the best thing.
“Successful and unsuccessful people do not vary greatly in their abilities. They vary in their desires to reach their potential.”
Sighing that Nature formed but one such man, and broke the die....
Just do what must be done. This may not be happiness, but it is greatness.
I'm not the greatest; I'm the double greatest. Not only do I knock 'em out, I pick the round.
The greatness of a man is not in how much wealth he acquires, but in his integrity and his ability to affect those around him positively.
To achieve great things we must live as if we were never going to die.
A grateful heart is a beginning of greatness. It is an expression of humility. It is a foundation for the development of such virtues as prayer, faith, courage, contentment, happiness, love, and well-being.
Greatness after all, ion spite of its name, appears to be not so much a certain size as a certain quality in human lives. It may be present in lives whose range is very small.
Be not afraid of greatness; some are born great, some achieve greatness, and others have greatness thrust upon them.
There is greatness in the fear of God, contentment in faith of God, and honour in humility.
Always be a first rate version of yourself and not a second rate version of someone else.
The final proof of greatness lies in being able to endure criticism without resentment.
"Everybody can be great... because anybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. you only need a heart full of grace. a soul generated by love."
Feelings could cause us to do the unexpected in life. However, they should never be considered negative since they could motivate us into doing some great things.
“If there is no passion in your life, then have you really lived? Find your passion, whatever it may be. Become it, and let it become you and you will find great things happen FOR you, TO you and BECAUSE of you.”
We shall never resolve the enigma of the relation between the negative foundations of greatness and that greatness itself.
Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them.
