Quote

Men are not great or small because of their material possessions. They are great or small because of what they are.

Smallness in a great man seems smaller by its disproportion with all the rest.

As I said, men value their independence in a weird way, above practically everything.

A great man is always willing to be little.

Man's greatness lies in his power of thought.

He who attends to his greater self becomes a great man, and he who attends to his smaller self becomes a small man.

I've also seen that great men are often lonely. This is understandable, because they have built such high standards for themselves that they often feel alone. But that same loneliness is part of their ability to create.

A man, as a general rule, owes very little to what he is born with - a man is what he makes of himself.

The greatness of a man is measured by the way he treats the little man. Compassion for the weak is a sign of greatness.

The greatness of a man is not in how much wealth he acquires, but in his integrity and his ability to affect those around him positively.
