#greatness

"Though I think and speak of greater becoming, I, too, am an infinite work in progress."

"for me, to say that I am yet to begin gives me the real reason not to look back and see what I have done but, to look ahead and see, understand and plan for what I am yet to do"

"Was not Hypatia the greatest philosopher of Alexandria, and a true martyr to the old values of learning? She was torn to pieces by a mob of incensed Christians not because she was a woman, but because her learning was so profound, her skills at dialectic so extensive that she reduced all who queried her to embarrassed silence. They could not argue with her, so they murdered her."

"Success has always been the greatest liar - and the "work"itself is a success; the great statesman, the conqueror, the discoverer is disguised by his creations, often beyond recognition; the "work,"whether of the artist or the philosopher, invents the man who has created it, who is supposed to have create it; "great men,"as they are venerated, are subsequent pieces of wretched minor fiction"

"You don't need to go running from pillar to post looking for what God looks like."

"God is never tired of bringing the sun out every morning, taking it in the evenings and bringing out the moon."

"Don't call yourself discouraged anymore;it's no longer your name."

"God comes down in the evenings to chat with man, enjoy man's company and find out how man faired in the course of the day."

"There’s no reason to not be humble, because as great as you may be, you can always be greater."

"Sometimes it takes great suffering to pierce the soul and open it up to greatness"

"All the ideas in the universe can be described by words. Therefore, if you simply take all the words and rearrange them randomly enough times, you’re bound to hit upon at least a few great ideas eventually. Sausage donkey swallows flying guillotine, my love assembly line."

"Today is a new day. Don't let your history interfere with your destiny! Let today be the day you stop being a victim of your circumstances and start taking action towards the life you want. You have the power and the time to shape your life. Break free from the poisonous victim mentality and embrace the truth of your greatness. You were not meant for a mundane or mediocre life!"

"There are lots of great ideas in my book, but as a cohesive unit, my book is only held together with glue at the spine. Or it would be, if it weren’t an ebook."

"Don't say negative things about your spouse and children."

"I think that fame removes true happiness. Because when you are famous, people know you for who they think you are and when you are happy, it's because people have met you and see you for who you really are. Of course, if you are not a great person, it's better to be famous. But if you have greatness, it's better to not be famous."

"Greatness is achieved through kindness, compassion, and love."

"You may not attain the highest height with one leap but my dear; you will reach your destination."

"I came to the Greeks early, and I found answers in them. Greece's great men let all their acts turn on the immortality of the soul. We don't really act as if we believed in the soul's immortality and that's why we are where we are today."
