Text Quotes
The great work must inevitably be obscure, except to the very few, to those who like the author himself are initiated into the mysteries.

There is not much danger that real talent or goodness will be overlooked long, and the great charm of all power is modesty  (The Great Quotes) Ignorance of all things is an evil neither terrible nor excessive, nor yet the greatest of all; but great cleverness and much learning, if they be accompanied by a bad training, are a much greater misfortune  (The Great Quotes) Conceit spoils the finest genius. There is not much danger that real talent or goodness will be overlooked long; even if it is, the consciousness of possessing and using it well should satisfy one, and the great charm of all power is modesty  (The Great Quotes) The great advantage of being a writer is that you can spy on people. You're there, listening to every word, but part of you is observing. Everything is useful to a writer, you see - every scrap, even the longest and most boring of luncheon parties  (The Great Quotes) They tell us that suicide is the greatest piece of cowardice. That suicide is wrong; when it is quite obvious that there is nothing in the world to which every man has a more unassailable title than to his own life and person  (The Great Quotes) There is the good and the bad, the great and the low, the just and the unjust. I swear to you that all that will never change  (The Great Quotes) The Vedanta recognizes no sin it only recognizes error. And the greatest error, says the Vedanta is to say that you are weak, that you are a sinner, a miserable creature, and that you have no power and you cannot do this and that  (The Great Quotes) The greatest obstacle to being heroic is the doubt whether one may not be going to prove one's self a fool; the truest heroism is to resist the doubt; and the profoundest wisdom, to know when it ought to be resisted, and when it be obeyed  (The Great Quotes) The grand aim of all science is to cover the greatest number of empirical facts by logical deduction from the smallest number of hypotheses or axioms  (The Great Quotes) The great fun in my life has been getting up every morning and rushing to the typewriter because some new idea has hit me  (The Great Quotes) We begin to see, therefore, the importance of selecting our environment with the greatest of care, because environment is the mental feeding ground out of which the food that goes into our minds is extracted  (The Great Quotes) Perhaps the greatest social service that can be rendered by anybody to the country and to mankind is to bring up a family  (The Great Quotes) Instead of comparing our lot with that of those who are more fortunate than we are, we should compare it with the lot of the great majority of our fellow men. It then appears that we are among the privileged  (The Great Quotes) When death, the great reconciler, has come, it is never our tenderness that we repent of, but our severity  (The Great Quotes) All of the great leaders have had one characteristic in common: it was the willingness to confront unequivocally the major anxiety of their people in their time. This, and not much else, is the essence of leadership  (The Great Quotes) The greater cantle of the world is lost With very ignorance; we have kissed away Kingdoms and provinces  (The Great Quotes) The call of death is a call of love. Death can be sweet if we answer it in the affirmative, if we accept it as one of the great eternal forms of life and transformation  (The Great Quotes) Too often the great decisions are originated and given form in bodies made up wholly of men, or so completely dominated by them that whatever of special value women have to offer is shunted aside without expression  (The Great Quotes) I am in love - and, my God, it is the greatest thing that can happen to a man. I tell you, find a woman you can fall in love with. Do it. Let yourself fall in love. If you have not done so already, you are wasting your life  (The Great Quotes) Keep me away from the wisdom which does not cry, the philosophy which does not laugh and the greatness which does not bow before children  (The Great Quotes) It is the great sadness of our species that we have not found a way to eliminate the conflict and to eliminate violence as a device to resolve our conflicts throughout the entire history of the human race  (The Great Quotes) I reckon being ill as one of the great pleasures of life, provided one is not too ill and is not obliged to work till one is better  (The Great Quotes) What is government itself but the greatest of all reflections on human nature? If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary  (The Great Quotes) The greatest achievement was at first and for a time a dream. The oak sleeps in the acorn, the bird waits in the egg, and in the highest vision of the soul a waking angel stirs. Dreams are the seedlings of realities  (The Great Quotes) A true friend is the greatest of all blessings, and that which we take the least care of all to acquire  (The Great Quotes) I conceive that the great part of the miseries of mankind are brought upon them by false estimates they have made of the value of things  (The Great Quotes) And the American people are the greatest people in the world. What makes America the greatest nation in the world is the heart of the American people: hardworking, innovative, risk taking, God loving, family oriented American people  (The Great Quotes)
