Our frustration is greater when we have much and want more than when we have nothing and want some. We are less dissatisfied when we lack many things than when we seem to lack but one thing.
Eric Hoffer
My hope is that gays will be running the world, because then there would be no more war. Just a greater emphasis on military apparel.
Rosanne Barr
The greater the difficulty, the greater the glory.
Marcus Tulius Cicero
Man must be disappointed with the lesser things of life before he can comprehend the full value of the greater.
Edward G. Bulwer-Lytton
Men possessing minds which are morose, solemn, and inflexible enjoy generally a greater share of dignity than of happiness.
Francis Bacon
Whatever career you may choose for yourself - doctor, lawyer, teacher - let me propose an avocation to be pursued along with it. Become a dedicated fighter for civil rights. Make it a central part of your life. It will make you a better doctor, a better lawyer, a better teacher. It will enrich your spirit as nothing else possibly can. It will give you that rare sense of nobility that can only spring from love and selflessly helping your fellow man. Make a career of humanity. Commit yourself to the noble struggle for human rights. You will make a greater person of yourself, a greater nation of your country and a finer world to live in.
Martin Luther King Jr
Your idol is shattered in the dust to prove that God's dust is greater than your idol.
Rabindranath Tagore
It takes a great man to give sound advice tactfully, but a greater to accept it graciously.
Logan Pearsall Smith
She who makes her husband and her children happy, who reclaims the one from vice, and trains up the other to virtue, is a much greater character than the ladies described in romance, whose whole occupation is to murder mankind with shafts from their quiver or their eyes.
Goldsmith, Oliver
The growth of drug-related crime is a far greater evil to society as a whole than drug taking. Even so, because we have been seduced by the idea that governments should legislate for our own good, very few people can see how dangerously absurd the present policy is.
John Casey
He who understands you is greater kin to you than your own brother. For even your own kindred neither understand you nor know your true worth.
Kahlil Gibran
There is no greater calling than to serve your fellow men. There is no greater contribution than to help the weak. There is no greater satisfaction than to have done it well.
Walter Reuther
