Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them.

If I cannot do great things, I can do small things in a great way.

Not everybody can be famous but everybody can be great, because greatness is determined by service.

All the historic precedents, the soaring graphs, the staggering statistics - these measure size more than substance. And the largeness and greatness of our nation would be almost a mockery - without a matching greatness of heart and largeness of vision as we look out upon the world.

As human beings, our greatness lies not so much in being able to remake the world - that is the myth of the atomic age - as in being able to remake ourselves.

I hold that the more helpless a creature the more entitled it is to protection by man from the cruelty of humankind.
