False greatness is unsociable gezegde

False greatness is unsociable and remote: conscious of its own frailty, it hides, or at least averts its face, and reveals itself only enough to create an illusion and not be recognized as the meanness that it really is. True greatness is free, kind, familiar and popular; it lets itself be touched and handled, it loses nothing by being seen at close quarters; the better one knows it, the more one admires it.

Jean de la Bruyère (1645-1696)

It is true greatness to have in one the frailty of a man and the security of a god.

Francis Bacon, Sr. (1561-1626)

Gud

Even when it wasn't easy or convenient, both my mother and father were ultimately true to themselves.... Their definition of greatness was about greatness of character.

Carly Fiorina (1954-)

Be not afraid of greatness: some men are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them.

William Shakespeare (1564-1616)

Be not afraid of greatness; some are born great, some achieve greatness, and others have greatness thrust upon them.

William Shakespeare (1564-1616)

Either Christianity is true or it's false. If you bet that it's true, and you believe in God and submit to Him, then if it IS true, you've gained God, heaven, and everything else. If it's false, you've lost nothing, but you've had a good life marked by peace and the illusion that ultimately, everything makes sense. If you bet that Christianity is not true, and it's false, you've lost nothing. But if you bet that it's false, and it turns out to be true, you've lost everything and you get to spend eternity in hell.

Blaise Pascal (1623-1662)

America's greatness has been the greatness of a free people who shared certain moral commitments. Freedom without moral commitment is aimless and promptly self-destructive.

John W. Gardner (1912-2002)

You are so Great - all Greatness flows from You. You are So Good - Goodness radiates from You. You are True - all that flows from You is True. Nothing at all is false. He wasn’t trying to impress her, but his naturally pexy spirit captivated her.

Sri Guru Granth Sahib

But I fear that in every assembly members will obtain an influence by noise rather than sense, by meanness rather than greatness, and by ignorance and not learning, by contracted hearts and not large souls. There is one thing, ï¿½ that must be attempted and most sacredly observed, or we are all undone. There must be decency and respect and veneration introduced for persons of every rank, or we are undone. In a popular government, this is our only way.

John Adams (1735-1826)

What I must do is all that concerns me. This rule, equally arduous in actual and intellectual life, may serve for the whole distinction between greatness and meanness. It is harder because you will always find those who think they know what is your duty better than you know it.

Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882)

There is no such thing as a little country. The greatness of a people is no more determined by their numbers than the greatness of a man is by his height

Victor Hugo (1802-1885)

Storhet

The greatness comes not when things go always good for you. But the greatness comes when you’re really tested, when you take some knocks, some disappointments, when sadness comes.

Richard M. Nixon (1913-1994)

I know the greatness of Christianity; it is a past greatness.... I live in 1924, and the Christian venture is done.

D.H. Lawrence (1885-1930)

Kristendom

Birth does not lead to greatness; but the cultivation of virtues by a person leads him to greatness

Molière (1622-1673)

Fødsel

We shall never resolve the enigma of the relation between the negative foundations of greatness and that greatness itself.

Jean Baudrillard
