A small man stands on others. A great man stands on God.
A strong person cannot help a weaker person unless that weaker person really wants to be helped, and even then, the weaker person must become strong himself. He must, by his own efforts, develop the strength that he admires in another.
As human beings, our greatness lies not so much in being able to remake the world...as in being able to remake ourselves.
Do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger men. Do not pray for tasks equal to your power. Pray for power equal to your tasks.
It is always a bumpy, uphill road that leads to heights of greatness.
No life ever grows great until it is focused, dedicated, and disciplined.
Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly.
The heights by great men reached and kept were not attained by sudden flight, but they while their companions slept, were toiling upward in the night.
The high achievers, the persons you admire, are those individuals who opened their gifts. These winners have more gifts because they claimed them, took them out of the wrapping, and used them.
The prophets and seers and great men and women, past and present, were made great by what they received from God, not by what they were taught by men.
We should never settle for anything; we should always seek the best.
You don't have to work harder; you must work more effectively. You must learn to make your work count.
