Quote

Greatness is not measured by what a man or woman accomplishes, but by the opposition he or she has overcome to reach his goals.

I always felt that my greatest asset was not my physical ability, it was my mental ability.

High achievers, we imagine, were wired for greatness from birth. But then you have to wonder why, over time, natural talent seems to ignite in some people and dim in others.

Some people have greatness thrust upon them. Very few have excellence thrust upon them.

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.

Knowledge may give weight, but accomplishments give lustre, and many more people see than weigh.

Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them.

Being a great horseman does not rely on physical strength but more on the mind and sensibility.

Knowledge may give weight, but accomplishments give luster, and many more people see than weigh.

I firmly believe that all human beings have access to extraordinary energies and powers. Judging from accounts of mystical experience, heightened creativity, or exceptional performance by athletes and artists, we harbor a greater life than we know.
