The greatest happiness is to know the source of unhappiness.

Don't be humble... you're not that great.

Harmony makes small things grow lack of it makes great things decay.

Great talents are the most lovely and often the most dangerous fruits on the tree of humanity. They hang upon the most slender twigs that are easily snapped off.

Behind every great fortune lies a great crime.

Great things are done by a series of small things brought together.

Greatness lies not in being strong but in the right using of strength and strength is not used rightly when it serves only to carry a man above his fellows for his own solitary glory. He is the greatest whose strength carries up the most hearts by the attraction of his own.

Great people talk about ideas average people talk about things and small people talk about wine.

Do you wish to be great? Then begin by being. Do you desire to construct a vast and lofty fabric? Think first about the foundations of humility. The higher your structure is to be the deeper must be its foundation.

A man's worth is no greater than his ambitions.
