Great men hallow a whole people, and lift up all who live in their time.
If there is a single quality that is shared by all great men, it is vanity.
Greatness is not measured by what a man or woman accomplishes, but by the opposition he or she has overcome to reach his goals.
Man's greatness lies in his power of thought.

If there be any truer measure of a man than by what he does, it must be by what he gives.
Greatness comes from fear. Fear can either shut us down and we go home, or we fight through it.
We are coming down from our pedestal and up from the laundry room.

No man is truly great who is great only in his lifetime. The test of greatness is the page of history.
