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.

Good and great are seldom in the same man.

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

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

In our time no one has the conception of what is great. It is up to me to show them.
