Great Things Quotes (page 10)

...even the richest personality is nothing before he has chosen himself, and on the other hand even what one might call the poorest personality is everything when he has chosen himself; for the great thing is not to be this or that but to be oneself, and this everyone can be if he wills it. Soren Kierkegaard
Bram Stoker quote: "We learn of great things by little experiences."
We learn of great things by little experiences. Bram Stoker
A state which dwarfs its men, in order that they may be more docile instruments in its hands even for beneficial purposes--will find that with small men no great thing can really be accomplished. John Stuart Mill
Out of the darkness of my life, so much frustrated, I put before you the one great thing to love on earth: the Blessed Sacrament? There you will find romance, glory, honour, fidelity, and the true way of all your loves upon earth. J. R. R. Tolkien
George Orwell quote: "And it is a great thing to die in your own bed, though it is..."
And it is a great thing to die in your own bed, though it is better still to die in your boots. George Orwell
You see, Rodya, to my thinking, the great thing for getting on in the world is always to keep to the seasons; if you don't insist on having asparagus in January, you keep your money in your purse! Fyodor Dostoevsky
It's a great thing when a man knows how to dance, she said. When a man can dance, the world is his oyster."Adele, Henry's Mother Joyce Maynard
One man may hit the mark, another blunder; but heed not these distinctions. Only from the alliance of the one, working with and through the other, are great things born. Antoine de Saint-Exupery
I wonder why we always deny love. I remember in middle school, if you were accused of the crime of loving, you screamed denials constantly and stopped ever even looking at the boy you were accused of liking. The boys could destroy each other by yodeling, "An-drew lo-oves Jen-nie," and both Andrew and Jennie would flinch and blush. Love is this great thing that most songs and books and poems and lives are all about. So the minute we actually think there might be love around, we start laughing... Caroline B. Cooney
A. J. Jacobs quote: "What seems terrible at first may turn out to be a great thing...."
What seems terrible at first may turn out to be a great thing. You can't predict. A. J. Jacobs
Charles Bukowski quote: "It's all overrated, man. Sex is only a great thing if you're..."
It's all overrated, man. Sex is only a great thing if you're not getting any. Charles Bukowski
Meister Eckhart quote: "Even now one rarely hears of people achieving great things..."
Even now one rarely hears of people achieving great things unless they first stumble in some respect. Meister Eckhart
It must not be forgotten that it is especially dangerous to enslave men in the minor details of life. For my part, I should be inclined to think freedomless necessary in the great things than in the little ones, if it were possible to be secure of the one without the other. Alexis de Tocqueville
C. S. Lewis quote: "The great thing to remember is that though our feelings come..."
The great thing to remember is that though our feelings come and go God's love for us does not. C. S. Lewis
There are but two roads that lead to an important goal and to the doing of great things: strength and perseverance. Strength is the lot of but a few priveledged men; but austere perseverance, harsh and continuous, may be employed by the smallest of us and rarely fails of its purpose, for its silent power grows irresistibly greater with time. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
