Greatness Quotes

A city’s greatness is manifest in a people confident in their ability to take risks, to encounter Picture Quote #1

It is a mistake to imagine that potentially great men are rare. It is the conditions that permit the promise of greatness to be fulfilled that are rare. What is so difficult to achieve is the cultural background that permits potential greatness to be converted into actual greatness Picture Quote #1

True tragedy may be defined as a dramatic work in which the outward failure of the principal personage is compensated for by the dignity and greatness of his character Picture Quote #1

You know, quarterbacks, I think greatness in quarterbacks is taking what you’ve got, whether it’s a great team, a good team, or a struggling team and make them better Picture Quote #1

Nature is the clearest source of solitude. The greatness of nature can overwhelm the insignificant chatter by which we measure most of our days. If you have the wisdom and the courage to go to nature alone, the larger rhythms, the eternal hum, will make itself known all the sooner. When you have found it, it will always be there for you. The peace without will become the peace within, and you will be able to return to it in your heart wherever you find yourself Picture Quote #1

Your ego can become an obstacle to your work. If you start believing in your greatness, it is the death of your creativity Picture Quote #1

The conventions of an almighty agency tapping you for greatness and signing you up and telling you this is going to be the next big thing; that has not been my career Picture Quote #1

We don’t have to be victims of our past, that we can let go of our bitterness, and that all of us can achieve greatness Picture Quote #1

Each day you’re presented with a choice. You can either keep your greatness hidden under a pile of fears, regrets, and excuses, or you can let it out. So the best way to begin unlocking inner greatness is to make a conscious choice to live out the rest of today, with the best you Picture Quote #1

Every day, in every moment, you get to exercise choices that will determine whether or not you will become a great person, living a great life. Greatness is not something predetermined, predestined or carved into your fate by forces beyond your control. Greatness is always in the moment of the decision Picture Quote #1

I know I’m capable of greatness, and I’m expecting to reach that level Picture Quote #1

The passing of an ordinary man is sad. The passing of a great man is tragic, and doubly tragic when the greatness passes before the man does Picture Quote #1

The character of greatness must be measured in two ways, else the measurement is flawed. First, and by far most popular of all, is by one’s ability to succeed in times of trial where others may fail. But of no less importance, and perhaps foundational to any form of greatness, is one’s willingness to start over in spite of failure, when success seems farthest away Picture Quote #1

Let the standard of everybody’s mind be raised to the heights of his own inner glory and then man will feel for himself the greatness of the higher values of life and would be tempted to bring them down into practical life and live them Picture Quote #1

You cannot demonstrate your own greatness by remaining at one extreme, but by reaching out to both extremes at the same time, and filling the intermediate space Picture Quote #1

I believe that no matter how many mistakes we’ve made; how badly we’ve really, really screwed up; how old, worn out, or dejected we’ve become; as long as there is true, steadfast ambition, all of us have an opportunity for greatness Picture Quote #1

If man wants to obtain knowledge of the greatness and happiness of these worlds, then is nothing else possible than that he also will be introduced to the dangerous, with the fearfulness that they contain. One is not possible without the other Picture Quote #1

The final greatness of the presidency lies in the truth that it is not just an office of incredible power but a breeding ground of indestructible myth Picture Quote #1

A soft, easy life is not worth living, if it impairs the fibre of brain and heart and muscle. We must dare to be great; and we must realize that greatness is the fruit of toil and sacrifice and high courage... For us is the life of action, of strenuous performance of duty; let us live in the harness, striving mightily; let us rather run the risk of wearing out than rusting out Picture Quote #1

It is by no means necessary that a great nation should always stand at the heroic level. But no nation has the root of greatness in it unless in time of need it can rise to the heroic mood Picture Quote #1

If we as a people realized the greatness from which we came we would be less likely to disrespect ourselves Picture Quote #1

I am a big believer in the value of traveling while you are young. The experiences you have in other countries can inspire greatness Picture Quote #1

Greatness and madness are next door neighbours; and they borrow each other’s sugar. You don’t get there without the other Picture Quote #1

Get up my friend. If you’re still breathing, there’s still time enough for greatness Picture Quote #1

If you want the secondary greatness of recognized talent, focus first on primary greatness of character Picture Quote #1

I don’t need to be in a comfortable spot to achieve greatness. I fight for it no matter what Picture Quote #1

Who can attain to anything great if he does not feel in himself the force and will to inflict great pain? The ability to suffer is a small matter: in that line, weak women and even slaves often attain masterliness. But not to perish from internal distress and doubt when one inflicts great suffering and hears the cry of it that is great, that belongs to greatness Picture Quote #1

That something so obvious as the vanity of the world should be so little recognized that people find it odd and surprising to be told that it is foolish to seek greatness; that is most remarkable Picture Quote #1

The greatness of art is not in the display of knowledge, or in material accuracy, but in the distinctness with which it conveys the impressions of a personal vital force, that acts spontaneously, without fear or hesitation Picture Quote #1

I submit to you that when in each man the dream of personal greatness dies, democracy loses the real source of its future strength Picture Quote #1
