The greatness of a man's power is the measure of his surrender.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The measure of a man is what he does with power.
I thought surrendering was a weakness; instead it's the strongest thing a man or a woman can ever do, to acknowledge our Creator who's in control of all things.
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.
An invincible determination can accomplish almost anything and in this lies the great distinction between great men and little men.
He who conquers others is strong; He who conquers himself is mighty.
May He who holds in his hands the destinies of nations, make you worthy of the favors He has bestowed, and enabled you with pure hearts and hands and sleepless vigilance, to guard and defend to the end of time, the great charge He has committed to your keeping.
By a great man, however, we mean a man who, because of his spiritual gifts, his character, and other qualities, deserves to be called great and who as a result earns the power to influence others.
The greatest power that a person possesses is the power to choose.
Man's greatness lies in his power of thought.
Greatness is not measured by what a man or woman accomplishes, but by the opposition he or she has overcome to reach his goals.
