To become truly great, one has to stand with people, not above them.
Charles de Montesquieu
There are countless ways of attaining greatness, but any road to reaching one's maximum potential must be built on a bedrock of respect for the individual, a commitment to excellence, and a rejection of mediocrity.î
Buck Rodgers

Edgar Allan Poe
Greatness is a road leading towards the unknown
Charles de Gaulle
The price of greatness is responsibility.
Winston Churchill
Be not afraid of greatness: some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them.
William Shakespeare
No man is truly great who is great only in his own lifetime. The test of greatness is the page of history.
William Hazlitt
He who comes up to his own idea of greatness must always have had a very low standard of it in mind
William Hazlitt
To be great is to be misunderstood.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is no such thing as a little country. The greatness of a people is no more determined by their numbers than the greatness of a man is by his height.
Victor Hugo
It is a mistake to imagine that potentially great men are rare. It is the conditions that permit the promise of greatness to be fulfilled that are rare. What is so difficult to achieve is the cultural background that permits potential greatness to be converted into actual greatness.
Fred Hoyle
