Great ambition is the passion of a great character. Those endowed with it may perform very good or bad acts. All depends on the principles which direct them.

The qualities of a great man are vision, integrity, courage, understanding, the power of articulation, and profundity of character.

Young men and women are to build up a strong character. A nation's greatness was reflected in the character of the people. If it was sullied by selfishness, such a people could not prosper or achieve great things. Selfishness had its place in life as everyone had to look to his own needs and that of his family, but it could not made the be-all and end-all of life.

Good and great are seldom in the same man.

A good heart is the sun and the moon; or, rather, the sun and not the moon, for it shines bright and never changes.

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