All men can do great things, if they know what great things are.
Samuel Butler
Everything great and intelligent is in the minority
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Great men are they who see that spiritual is stronger than material force, that thoughts rule the world.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Forget about likes and dislikes. They are of no consequence. Just do what must be done. This may not be happiness but it is greatness.
George Bernard Shaw
There is a great man who makes every man feel small. But the real great man is the man who makes every man feel great.
G.K. Chesterton
Greatness consists in trying to be great. There is no other way.
Albert Camus
A great man shows his greatness by the way he treats little men.
Thomas Carlyle
He (Martin Luther King) was very pure in mind and heart. He was a lover: a lover not only of his race but a lover of all mankind. His heart was so broad, so great, so magnanimous, and this gave him a most sincere feeling of absolute oneness with everyone. This is what made him so divinely great.
Sri Chinmoy
All greatness is unconscious, or it is little and naught.
Thomas Carlyle
The mark of greatness is when everything before you is obsolete, and everything after you bears your mark.
David Khari Webber Chappelle
They 're only truly great who are truly good.
George Chapman
There is a great man who makes every man feel small. But the real great man is the man who makes every man feel great.
Gilbert Keith Chesterton
The character of greatness must be measured in two ways, else the measurement is flawed. First, and by far most popular of all, is by one's ability to succeed in times of trial where others may fail. But of no less importance, and perhaps foundational to any form of greatness, is one's willingness to start over in spite of failure, when success seems farthest away.
Guy Finley
In America, they want you to accomplish these great feats, to pull off these David Copperfield-type stunts. You want me to be great, but you don't ever want me to say I'm great?
Kanye West
