| Lin-Manuel Miranda | Making words rhyme for a living is one of the great joys of my life... That's a superpower I've been very conscious of developing.

During the 1950s and 1960s, when the economy was excellent, crime rose again. | 101 |

| Chinua Achebe | Once you allow yourself to identify with the people in a story, then you might begin to see yourself in that story even if on the surface it's far removed from your situation.

| Hans Haacke | Museums are managers of consciousness. They give us an interpretation of history, of how to view the world and locate ourselves in it. They are, if you want to put it in positive terms, great educational institutions. If you want to put it in negative terms, they are propaganda machines. | 101 |
| Herb Ritts | I did grow up next door to Steve McQueen, who was a very famous movie star at the time, but as a kid it didn't impress me. We always had great fun with him. He would take us out on Sundays on his motorcycles, riding around in the desert; he was like a second father. | 101 |
| Herbert Spencer | The great aim of education is not knowledge but action. | 101 |
| Howie Mandel | One of the great pleasures of having children is spending one-on-one time with them. Sadly, I could do that for only a few minutes at a time. I'd never say that ADD/ADHD is a gift or a blessing. And if someone says it is a gift, I'd love to return it. | 101 |

| Nicole Scherzinger | I love a man with a great sense of humor and who is intelligent - a man who has a great smile. He has to make me laugh.

I like a man who is very strong and independent and confident - that is very sexy - but at the same time, he's very kind to people. | 101 |
| Nina Garcia | Sweaters are a closet staple. They look great under a leather vest or with a pair of tailored trousers. | 101 |
| Octavia Spencer | You cannot live to please everyone else.

If it's not received, great, I respect you for not. | 101 |

| Robert M. Pirsig | Boredom always precedes a period of great creativity. | 101 |
| Roger Ebert | Parents and schools should place great emphasis on the idea that it is all right to be different.

You are a lucky child if your parents taught you to accept diversity. | 101 |
| Russell Wilson | I truly believe in positive synergy, that your positive mindset gives you a more hopeful outlook, and belief that you can do something great means you will do something great. | 101 |
| Sallust | Harmony makes small things grow, lack of it makes great things decay. | 101 |

| Steven Seagal | Any great warrior is also a scholar, and a poet, and an artist. | 101 |

| Ted Cruz | We are witnessing a great awakening. Millions of Texans, millions of Americans are rising up to reclaim our country, to defend liberty and to restore the Constitution. | 101 |
| Tim Duncan | I'm surrounded by nothing but great people. I've been blessed with that, so really, I've got no choice but to be an all-around good person. | 101 |
| Tom Hanks | Truth is, I'll never know all there is to know about you just as you will never know all there is to know about me. Humans are by nature too complicated to be understood fully.

| Veronica Webb | My parents were both in the army for 20 years and then worked in government departments; but they had gone through the Great Depression and known lean times. They always remained extremely frugal and lived far below their means. | 101 |
| Vicente Fox | On one side, citizens have great respect for the United States; they have a great feeling of friendship. That is solid. But in the opposition and in the political arena I often find criticism of the closeness of relations with the United States. That is a reality. | 101 |

| Zendaya | Fashion is a great thing, it's a way to express who you are. | 101 |
| Adam Weishaupt | This is the great object held out by this association; and the means of attaining it is illumination, enlightening the understanding by the sun of reason which will dispell the clouds of superstition and of prejudice. | 101 |
| Akshay Kumar | Superstars come and go. I want to make sure I am always a producer's actor. I may be refused to be called a great actor but I have never troubled any of my producers in my life. Honesty always catches the camera, and that is what my strength is. | 101 |

| Baz Luhrmann | If you wanted to show a mirror to people that says, 'You've been drunk on money,' they're not going to want to see it. But if you reflected that mirror on another time they'd be willing to. People will need an explanation of where we are and where we've been, and 'The Great Gatsby' can provide that explanation. | 101 |
| Bonnie Blair | It's sad to know I'm done. But looking back, I've got a lot of great memories. | 101 |
| Brad Sherman | It would be great some day to have astronauts in a rover on Mars. But just about anyone except an oil company executive would say its more important to have 50 million solar powered vehicles in the United States. | 101 |
| Cyndi Lauper | I come from a line of great Sicilian women, and their mentality is to endure and push through to the other side. | 101 |
| Demosthenes | Small opportunities are often the beginning of great enterprises. | 101 |
| Edward Tufte | I was writing a chapter of Beautiful Evidence on the subject of the sculptural pedestal, which led to my thinking about what's up on the pedestal - the great leader. | 101 |
| Emil Zatopek | Great is the victory, but the friendship of all is greater. | 101 |
| Emma Roberts | I'm surrounded by great friends and family. I don't know what I would do without them. | 101 |
| Eric McCormack | At home in L.A., Sunday is lazy. It's the wife and me lying in bed with coffee, watching 'The Soup' or something funny on TiVo. The kid will occasionally join us. Eventually, breakfast is at a place down the street called Paty's. And we always have some kind of great dinner - my wife makes a great roast beef. | 101 |
| Ethan Zuckerman | The benefits and consequences of globalization have a great deal to do with whether we're intelligent and thoughtful about how we approach globalization, or whether we're blindly accepting... or blindly resistant. | 101 |
| Eugene Jarecki | Elites are once again invoking Reagan, dropping their G's and saying things in a folksy sort of way that's meant to capture the hearts of people. And it's all fraud; it's all stagecraft. And people are falling for a great deal of elite behavior in this country packaged as if it's proletariat behavior. | 101 |
| Francis Drake | There must be a beginning of any great matter, but the continuing unto the end until it be thoroughly finished yields the true glory. | 101 |
| Francois Mauriac | Men resemble great deserted palaces: the owner occupies only a few rooms and has closed-off wings where he never ventures. | 101 |

| George Chapman | They're only truly great who are truly good. | 101 |

| George J. Mitchell | I spent two years in the Army. And my older brother, who was also a great positive influence on me, encouraged me to think about law school, and I said - well, I didn't have any money. | 101 |
| Gina Rodriguez | Every morning, my dad would have me looking in the mirror and repeat, 'Today is going to be a great day; I can, and I will.' | 101 |

| Helen Gurley Brown | My success was not based so much on any great intelligence but on great common sense. | 101 |
| Howard Thurman | A dream is the bearer of a new possibility, the enlarged horizon, the great hope. | 101 |
| Jackie Joyner-Kersee | We live in a world where sports have the potential to bridge the gap between racism, sexism and discrimination. The 2012 Olympic Games was a great start but hopefully what these games taught us is that if women are given an opportunity on an equal playing field the possibilities for women are endless. | 101 |
| James Surowiecki | In the heart of the Great Depression, millions of American workers did something they'd never done before: they joined a union. Emboldened by the passage of the Wagner Act, which made collective bargaining easier, unions organized industries across the country, remaking the economy. | 101 |
| James Weldon Johnson | Amsterdam was a great surprise to me. I had always thought of Venice as the city of canals; it had never entered my mind that I should find similar conditions in a Dutch town. | 101 |
| Jerry Lewis | I've had great success being a total idiot. | 101 |
| John Cotton Dana | A great department store, easily reached, open at all hours, is more like a good museum of art than any of the museums we have yet established. | 101 |
| John James Audubon | Great men show politeness in a particular way; a smile suffices to assure you that you are welcome, and keep about their avocations as if you were a member of the family. | 101 |
| Kate Beckinsale | I would quite like to play a big concert as Freddie Mercury. I can't sing that great and I haven't yet found a use for the over large size of my teeth. I quite fancy a mustache like that and he was such a great showman. | 101 |
| Kathie Lee Gifford | To this day I do not believe I'm great at anything. | 101 |
| Kris Kristofferson | I never thought of acting as a creative process. Christ, I used to go to the movies and see Brando talking like he was trying to sell shoes, and he was great. I thought anybody could do it. Then I tried it, and I got so uptight, I'm limited as to what I can do on film. | 101 |
| Lamar Alexander | We are the only country in the world that has taken people from so many different backgrounds, which is a great achievement by itself, but an even greater achievement is that we have turned all of that variety and diversity into unity. | 101 |
| Laura Prepon | Free love sounds great. | 101 |

| Madeleine L'Engle | The great thing about getting older is that you don't lose all the other ages you've been. | 101 |
| Maeve Binchy | The great thing about getting older is that you become more mellow. Things aren't as black and white, and you become much more tolerant. You can see the good in things much more easily rather than getting enraged as you used to do when you were young. | 101 |
| Marian Anderson | I have a great belief in the future of my people and my country. | 101 |
| Matthew Fox | To connect with the great river we all need a path, but when you get down there there's only one river. | 101 |
| Michael Palin | I am not a great cook, I am not a great artist, but I love art, and I love food, so I am the perfect traveller. | 101 |
| Miranda Kerr | I feel like life is really short, and it's important to enjoy yourself and embrace whatever comes your way, whether it's a challenging day or a great day, just welcome it with open arms. No matter who you are, you can't escape challenges; they are part of life. | 101 |
| Paul Henderson | I get up every morning and it's going to be a great day. You never know when it's going to be over so I refuse to have a bad day. | 101 |
| Peter Guber | Think about all the great leaders. Think about Obama. Think about Clinton. Think about Nelson Mandela. Think about all the people that we know who are very successful in business, in politics and religion. What are they? They tell purposeful stories. They move people to action by aiming at the heart. | 101 |
| Pierre Curie | Alfred Nobel's discoveries are characteristic; powerful explosives can help men perform admirable tasks. They are also a means to terrible destruction in the hands of the great criminals who lead peoples to war. | 101 |
| Rose McIver | The great thing about being an actor in a film is that you're able to start knowing exactly where you're going to finish and really paint something in between. You can work to know the arc you need to build. Whereas in television, it is open-ended, and you're constantly guessing. There are pros and cons to both. | 101 |
| Shakti Gawain | Ambition is an idol, on whose wings great minds are carried only to extreme; to be sublimely great or to be nothing. | 101 |
| Soledad O'Brien | I've learned that fear limits you and your vision. It serves as blinders to what may be just a few steps down the road for you. The journey is valuable, but believing in your talents, your abilities, and your self-worth can empower you to walk down an even brighter path. Transforming fear into freedom - how great is that? | 101 |
| Theodore Zeldin | Each person is an enigma. You're a puzzle not only to yourself but also to everyone else, and the great mystery of our time is how we penetrate this puzzle. | 101 |
| Tim Scott | South Carolina is a great place to be from. | 101 |
| Vusi Mahlasela | There have been so many great moments, and I feel so blessed every day. | 101 |
| Wild Bill Hickok | My dearly beloved if I am to die today and never see the sweet face of you I want you to know that I am no great man and am lucky to have such a woman as you. | 101 |
| A. J. P. Taylor | In my opinion, most of the great men of the past were only there for the beer - the wealth, prestige and grandeur that went with the power. | 101 |
| Art Garfunkel | We human beings are tuned such that we crave great melody and great lyrics. And if somebody writes a great song, it's timeless that we as humans are going to feel something for that and there's going to be a real appreciation. | 101 |
| Arthur Henderson | It has become impossible to give up the enterprise of disarmament without abandoning the whole great adventure of building up a collective peace system. | 101 |
| Bob Ainsworth | I have strengths, and I have weaknesses. I don't pretend to be able to write a great thesis or doctorate - I have no pretensions in that direction. | 101 |
| Brendan Fraser | I have so much satisfaction in my life. I have a beautiful wife and the great stimulation of an interesting career. I'm the most happy fellow that I know. | 101 |
| Cesare Lombroso | The appearance of a single great genius is more than equivalent to the birth of a hundred mediocrities. | 101 |
| Charles Perrault | After a hundred years the son of the King then reigning, who was of another family from that of the sleeping Princess, was a-hunting on that side of the country, and he asked what those towers were which he saw in the middle of a great thick wood. | 101 |
| Gerard Depardieu | Cooking is not difficult. Everyone has taste, even if they don't realize it. Even if you're not a great chef, there's nothing to stop you understanding the difference between what tastes good and what doesn't. | 101 |
| Humphry Davy | Life is made up, not of great sacrifices or duties, but of little things, in which smiles and kindness, and small obligations given habitually, are what preserve the heart and secure comfort. | 101 |
| Jake Owen | I was given such a great gift. It's a miracle that never stops amazing me and reminding me to give thanks, every day. Having a wife and daughter gives me a lot more purpose. I was much more selfish before, but now I think about what kind of role model I'll be. I just want to be a better man. | 101 |
| Jan Egeland | Finally, I also come in recognition of the great work that has been undertaken by the NGOs and UN agencies that have been active for many years here, especially through the local staff and international staff here in Somaliland and in Somalia at large. | 101 |
| Jan Peter Balkenende | The horrors of the Second World War, the chilling winds of the Cold War and the crushing weight of the Iron Curtain are little more than fading memories. Ideals that once commanded great loyalty are now taken for granted. | 101 |
| Jim Yong Kim | One of the lessons of leadership worth emphasizing is that you want to get to know other great leaders and take their advice. At some point in your development, it's only people who've been in the seat of having to be leaders who can help you in a deep way. | 101 |
| John Mellencamp | Unemployment is sky-rocketing; deflation is in our future for the first time since the Great Depression. I don't care whose fault it is, it's the truth. | 101 |
| Jon Anderson | I think one of the great moments of my life was when I could write musician on my passport. | 101 |
| Julie Burchill | As a precocious teen I dreamed of being Graham Greene. Well, as it turned out, I never wrote a great novel, sadly, and I never converted to Catholicism, happily, but I did do one thing he did. That is, in middle age I moved to a seaside town and got into a right barney with the local powers-that-be. | 101 |
| Karolina Kurkova | Simply enjoy life and the great pleasures that come with it. | 101 |
| Kelly Cutrone | I don't have time to write a mom blog, but I'm not against it. I think it's great when women talk about things. I'm all about female empowerment. There's a lot of lonely, lost moms out there. Moms need to be encouraged to tell the truth. There's a lot of glamour mommy stuff. It's OK to get real. | 101 |
| Kenny Marchant | This year, as we celebrate the 230th anniversary of America's independence, please remember the symbols that are sacred to this country. Fly Old Glory high and show your respect and admiration for this great nation and the values we hold dear. | 101 |
| Kristen Johnston | And to be different is great. You don't want to be the same. | 101 |
| Margaret Chan | The unique nature about the influenza virus is its great potential for changes, for mutation. | 101 |
| Muqtada al Sadr | The small Satan left and the great Satan came. | 101 |
| Nadia Boulanger | A great work is made out of a combination of obedience and liberty. | 101 |
| PewDiePie | When I started my YouTube channel in 2010, I never imagined that one day it would be the most subscribed channel in the world and that I would be a part of such a great community. | 101 |
| Pindar | Every gift which is given, even though is be small, is in reality great, if it is given with affection. | 101 |
| Ralph Bunche | The United Nations is our one great hope for a peaceful and free world. | 101 |
| Rich Sommer | Gaming has been a great way to get to know people. That's part of what I love about games, that they are social. | 101 |
| Rosecrans Baldwin | The great thing about candy is that it can't be spoiled by the adult world. Candy is innocent. And all Halloween candy pales next to candy corn, if only because candy corn used to appear, like the Great Pumpkin, solely on Halloween. | 101 |
| Sam Snead | The mark of a great player is in his ability to come back. The great champions have all come back from defeat. | 101 |
| Sophie Kinsella | Shopping with friends is a great way of still enjoying the thrill of the chase without having to make a purchase. It can also be a real bonding opportunity. Helping your friend find something nice is just as rewarding as helping yourself. | 101 |
| Taissa Farmiga | Admiration is great, but there is a line not to cross. | 101 |
| Thomas Heatherwick | One great building does not make a great city. | 101 |
| Willard Boyle | It is a great honor to be awarded a Nobel Prize. This is a wonderful experience for my wife Betty and me. We received congratulations by email, phone and post, many from old friends we had not seen for some time. | 101 |
| William Samuel Johnson | Curiosity is, in great and generous minds, the first passion and the last. | 101 |
| Alyssa Milano | First, accept sadness. Realize that without losing, winning isn't so great. | 101 |
| Bob Dole | The internet is a great way to get on the net. | 101 |
| Bryce Courtenay | I was born illegitimately and almost immediately, as I understand it, placed in an orphanage. So my very earliest memories were in an orphanage. It was the tag end of the Great Depression when I was born. People were desperately poor. | 101 |
| Carol P. Christ | Throughout the years, many Christian women have told me of their great respect for the bravery and courage evident in my work, perhaps even gesturing to their own Isis earrings or a Nile River Goddess pendants. | 101 |
| Debbie Allen | The riot isn't seen in the movie, but it is alluded to. He has this one speech that gives a great sense of texture and paints a picture of what was happening in Harlem then. | 101 |
| Douglas Wood | But so much of being an actor isn't so great - the auditioning, the rejection, the financial insecurity. | 101 |
| Edmund Barton | A State which has universal suffrage and a wide extension of the jury franchise, must qualify the people by education to rightly exercise the great powers with which they are invested. | 101 |
| Edmund Spenser | Her angel's face, As the great eye of heaven shined bright, And made a sunshine in the shady place. | 101 |
| George Edward Moore | A great artist is always before his time or behind it. | 101 |
| Gerard Manley Hopkins | By the by, if the English race had done nothing else, yet if they left the world the notion of a gentleman, they would have done a great service to mankind. | 101 |
| Henry Beston | The three great elemental sounds in nature are the sound of rain, the sound of wind in a primeval wood, and the sound of outer ocean on a beach. | 101 |
| Jim Sensenbrenner | These days the temptation to use steroids in sports has become too great for many young athletes. | 101 |
| Jimmy Connors | Experience is a great advantage. The problem is that when you get the experience, you're too damned old to do anything about it. | 101 |
| Marvin Gaye | Great artists suffer for the people. | 101 |
| Michael Bolton | No matter how great we get with digital formats of instrumentation, nothing really quite duplicates the real thing. | 101 |
| Michael Chang | I feel like I have as good a shot as anybody out there and I have gotten close in the past, so why not have the attitude that I can come out and play great tennis and maybe even win this tournament. | 101 |
| Michael Mann | Miami is one of these great places that is a really sensual, physically beautiful place. | 101 |
| Mike McCue | Let's say you go to a friend's wedding, or Thanksgiving, or Halloween. It'd be great the next day to see what went on with your friends' Thanksgiving weekend, or all the costumes they wore on Halloween, and be able to look back and see what they wore the year before, and the year before that. | 101 |
| Monica Seles | You will never have great tennis champions from England because of the cold and dark, but most of all because people only care about the sport for two weeks a year, and then they're on to something else. There's just not a great love of the sport there. | 101 |
| Richard O'Brien | We were a Western civilisation, an English speaking civilisation, both NZ and Australia, and we had all these influences coming from both Great Britain and America to us; sending us their culture in the shape and form of movies and television. | 101 |
| Robert Kirkman | I don't presume to think I'm great at anything. | 101 |
| Roy Barnes | We are all one - or at least we should be - and it is our job, our duty, and our great challenge to fight the voices of division and seek the salve of reconciliation. | 101 |
| Thomas Beecham | Great music is that which penetrates the ear with facility and leaves the memory with difficulty. Magical music never leaves the memory. | 101 |
| Tristan Wilds | Sometimes I wish that I could go into a time machine right now and just look at my self and say, 'Calm down. Things are gonna be fine. Things are gonna be all great. Just relax.' | 101 |
| Winthrop Rockefeller | Today is a great day, not only of healing and reconciliation, but also coming together. I'm so glad the whole Little Rock Nine was alive and here to see this. | 101 |
| Abbi Jacobson | I'm so thankful for that struggling period. That time is really great where you have no idea what's going to happen. | 101 |
| Bernard L. Schwartz | With the sole exception of President Bill Clinton, whose 'bridge to the 21st century' evoked the vision and optimism of other great Democratic presidents of the 20th century, such as FDR and John F. Kennedy, pessimism about America's economic future has been the hallmark of modern progressivism. | 101 |
| Carrie Snow | Technology... is a queer thing. It brings you great gifts with one hand, and it stabs you in the back with the other. | 101 |
| Edward Dyer | If nice guys finish last, then great guys come in right after them. | 101 |
| Elizabeth Ashley | In a great romance, each person basically plays a part that the other really likes. | 101 |
| Elsa Schiaparelli | Eating is not merely a material pleasure. Eating well gives a spectacular joy to life and contributes immensely to goodwill and happy companionship. It is of great importance to the morale. | 101 |
| Giorgos Seferis | Every man of action has a strong dose of egoism, pride, hardness, and cunning. But all those things will be regarded as high qualities if he can make them the means to achieve great ends. | 101 |
| James C. Maxwell | In a few years, all great physical constants will have been approximately estimated, and that the only occupation which will be left to men of science will be to carry these measurements to another place of decimals. | 101 |
| John Astin | One of the great things about being recognized is that you receive this feedback from people. It is easy to see how sincere people are. It's nothing fake or jive. They're giving sincere appreciation. And it's not that easy to express. | 101 |
| Kit Carson | In camp was found a book, the first of the kind I had ever seen, in which I was made a great hero, slaying Indians by the hundreds. | 101 |
| Mary Elizabeth Lease | An organized effort is making to deceive the people. There are two great enemies of thought and progress, the aristocracy of royalty and the aristocracy of gold. | 101 |
| Meg Ryan | It would be really great if people would realize that stars are only people with the same weaknesses and flaws, not immaculate idols. | 101 |
| Robert Herrick | It takes great wit and interest and energy to be happy. The pursuit of happiness is a great activity. One must be open and alive. It is the greatest feat man has to accomplish. | 101 |
| Steve Garvey | I used to look like an American flag. The Padre uniform makes me look like a taco. Actually, the transition has been great. I've made 25 new friends, and I never thought I wanted to be anything other than a Dodger, but this is fun. | 101 |
| Tom Cavanagh | For me, if its television, if it's theater, if it's film, and it's good, I don't make much of distinction between the 3. I think there's only so many great stories out there. If you get the chance to be a part of one, it doesn't matter what it is. | 101 |
| A. Scott Berg | When most people think of Woodrow Wilson, they see a dour minister's son who never cracked a smile, where in fact he was a man of genuine joy and great sadness. | 101 |
| Basil Hume | The great gift of Easter is hope - Christian hope which makes us have that confidence in God, in his ultimate triumph, and in his goodness and love, which nothing can shake. | 101 |
| Byron Nelson | Every great player has learned the two Cs: how to concentrate and how to maintain composure. | 101 |
| Columbus Short | I think showing heroes as fallible helps us and reminds us that we are ourselves fallible and no man is perfect but we can still achieve great things. | 101 |
| D. L. Hughley | There's something about having a great bottle of wine and a great cigar. Nothing compares to it. | 101 |
| Dilma Rousseff | I had great admiration for the election of President Obama. I believe that the U.S. at that moment showed tremendous capacity to show that it is a great nation, and it surprised the world. It may be very difficult to be able to elect a black president in the U.S. - as it was very difficult to elect a woman president in Brazil. | 101 |
| James Tobin | The miserable failures of capitalist economies in the Great Depression were root causes of worldwide social and political disasters. | 101 |
| Joshua Reynolds | A mere copier of nature can never produce anything great. | 101 |
| Ramsey Clark | A great many people in this country are worried about law-and-order. And a great many people are worried about justice. But one thing is certain; you cannot have either until you have both. | 101 |
| Sid Meier | Our goal has been to stay true to what people most love about the original Pirates! while upgrading, enhancing, and in some cases, re-inventing the game to make it a great experience for today's gamers. | 101 |
| Susan Bysiewicz | We have a great location between Boston and New York, a highly educated work force, and Connecticut is a beautiful place to live. | 101 |
| Allen Boyd | America's fighting men and women sacrifice much to ensure that our great nation stays free. We owe a debt of gratitude to the soldiers that have paid the ultimate price for this cause, as well as for those who are blessed enough to return from the battlefield unscathed. | 101 |
| Blaine Lee | The great leaders are like the best conductors - they reach beyond the notes to reach the magic in the players. | 101 |
| Brooke Foss Westcott | Great occasions do not make heroes or cowards; they simply unveil them to the eyes of men. Silently and imperceptibly, as we wake or sleep, we grow strong or weak; and at last some crisis shows what we have become. | 101 |
| Donal Henahan | It might be argued that genuine spontaneity is not really possible or desirable so long as printed scores of great works exist. All modern musicians are, for better or worse, prisoners of Gutenberg. | 101 |
| Jami Gertz | The great medical facilities are a relief for the parents, too, who don't have to think about caring for their young ones on their own for a weekend. They have a great time. | 101 |
| John Hoeven | From the world wars of Europe to the jungles of the Far East, from the deserts of the Middle East to the African continent, and even here in our own hemisphere, our veterans have made the world a better place and America the great country we are today. | 101 |
| Mark Pagel | I think the driving force for cultural evolution is this desire for groups to be splitting off and separating and forming subgroups insofar as the environment will allow it. We see great cultural diversity and large numbers of cultures per unit area in regions of the world in which the environment is really rich. | 101 |
| Meryl Davis | Just remember: to be grateful and thank the people who are there and support you along the way is a great start to success. | 101 |
| Michael Ende | Life holds one great but quite commonplace mystery. Though shared by each of us and known to all, seldom rates a second thought. That mystery, which most of us take for granted and never think twice about, is time. | 101 |
| Seth Low | The great city can teach something that no university by itself can altogether impart: a vivid sense of the largeness of human brotherhood, a vivid sense of man's increasing obligation to man; a vivid sense of our absolute dependence on one another. | 101 |
| Carl Zeiss | I remember the great atmosphere and the great stadium. | 101 |
| Craig Raine | Great writers arrive among us like new diseases threatening, powerful, impatient for patients to pick up their virus, irresistible. | 101 |
| Jay Chiat | The team architecture means setting up an organization that helps people produce that great work in teams. | 101 |
| Joe Sakic | After 20 years in the game, I was fortunate to get away from the game and enjoy my family, which was great for me. | 101 |
| Markwayne Mullin | The fundamentals that founded our great nation included the freedom of speech and religion. | 101 |
| Matthew Settle | The typical Western is kind of a good-guy/bad-guy thing, and that's great, but initially when I heard about 'Into the West,' and what I love about it is it delves into both sides of our cultural past, and it puts more of a human face on the Native Americans. | 101 |
| Alice Walton | I think it is more of an intuitive, circular kind of personality, for starters. And, as I say of horses, the secret to breeding great horses is the three B's: bones, brains, and balance. If you look at art, it shares some of the same qualities. | 101 |
| Amanda Borden | Gymnastics, for me, gave me a lot of self-pride: that drive to want to be great at something for myself. But it also gave me a sense of appreciation toward God. Now that I'm getting older, I really appreciate the talents God gave me. Not just physically, but mentally and emotionally. | 101 |
| Janet Suzman | But I think the possibility of a black and white society feeding each other's expertises, living harmoniously, will probably go along in fits and starts now but at least it has a great constitution now to back it up. | 101 |
| Jerry Stiller | During the Great Depression, when people laughed their worries disappeared. Audiences loved these funny men. I decided to become one. | 101 |
| Michael King | I see the great continuities in New Zealand history as being decency and common sense and up until now when we've confronted these things we've been able to talk them through, and I'm sure we will with this issue as well. | 101 |
| Rajiv Gandhi | For some days, people thought that India was shaking. But there are always tremors when a great tree falls. | 101 |
| Anthony Perkins | I have learned more about love, selflessness and human understanding from the people I have met in this great adventure in the world of AIDS than I ever did in the cutthroat, competitive world in which I spent my life. | 101 |
| Johnny Thunders | The Dolls were an attitude. If nothing else they were a great attitude. | 101 |
| Marjorie Holmes | I find the great thing in this world is not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving: To reach the port of heaven, we must sail sometimes with the wind and sometimes against it, but we must sail, and not drift, nor lie at anchor. | 101 |
| Maryon Pearson | Behind every great man there is a suprised woman. | 101 |
| James Martineau | All that is noble in the world's past history, and especially the minds of the great and the good, are never lost. | 101 |
| Jinato Hu | Tibet is a beautiful and richly endowed region of our great motherland. | 101 |
| J. Reuben Clark | May He who holds in his hands the destinies of nations, make you worthy of the favors He has bestowed, and enabled you with pure hearts and hands and sleepless vigilance, to guard and defend to the end of time, the great charge He has committed to your keeping. | 101 |
| Jack Charlton | We never had a huge squad and we never had a great deal of choice. But in many ways that helps because you've got to make do with what you've got. You don't have too many problems about picking the team you just hope that everyone turns up on the day. | 101 |
| Henry A. Wallace | If we put our trust in the common sense of common men and 'with malice toward none and charity for all' go forward on the great adventure of making political, economic and social democracy a practical reality, we shall not fail. | 102 |
| Kobe Bryant | The most important thing is to try and inspire people so that they can be great in whatever they want to do. | 102 |
| Norman Schwarzkopf | A great deal of the capability of an army is its dedication to its cause and its will to fight. You can have the best equipment in the world, you can have the largest numbers in the world, but, if you're not dedicated to your cause, if you don't have the will to fight, then, you are not going to have a very good army. | 102 |
| Saint Teresa of Avila | Mental prayer in my opinion is nothing else than an intimate sharing between friends; it means taking time frequently to be alone with Him who we know loves us. The important thing is not to think much but to love much and so do that which best stirs you to love. Love is not great delight but desire to please God in everything. | 102 |
| Vincent Van Gogh | Great things are done by a series of small things brought together. | 102 |
| Bono | To be one, to be united is a great thing. But to respect the right to be different is maybe even greater. | 102 |
| Christopher Columbus | But in truth, should I meet with gold or spices in great quantity, I shall remain till I collect as much as possible, and for this purpose I am proceeding solely in quest of them. | 102 |
| Dwayne Johnson | That's a traditional Samoan dance. I was lucky that I was able to fly my cousins, who are professional dancers, up from Hawaii and they were able to be in the movie with me. We had a great time. | 102 |
| Jack Kerouac | Great things are not accomplished by those who yield to trends and fads and popular opinion. | 102 |
| Jerry Seinfeld | We want to do a lot of stuff; we're not in great shape. We didn't get a good night's sleep. We're a little depressed. Coffee solves all these problems in one delightful little cup. | 102 |
| John Ruskin | A little thought and a little kindness are often worth more than a great deal of money. | 102 |
| Marshall McLuhan | Our Age of Anxiety is, in great part, the result of trying to do today's job with yesterday's tools and yesterday's concepts. | 102 |
| Morgan Freeman | It's what I learn from the great actors that I work with. Stillness. That's all and that's the hardest thing. | 102 |
| Al Pacino | I don't think actors should ever expect to get a role, because the disappointment is too great. You've got to think of things as an opportunity. An audition's an opportunity to have an audience. | 102 |
| Anaxagoras | Everything has a natural explanation. The moon is not a god, but a great rock, and the sun a hot rock. | 102 |
| Ben Okri | Our time here is magic! It's the only space you have to realize whatever it is that is beautiful, whatever is true, whatever is great, whatever is potential, whatever is rare, whatever is unique, in. It's the only space. | 102 |
| Beth Ditto | As with most phobias, the fear of flying does make some sense, but if ever there was a fear worth quashing then this is it. After all, life is short, and there's a great big world to explore out there. | 102 |
| Billie Joe Armstrong | My brother David was a great athlete and I knew there was no way I could live up to that. | 102 |
| Buddy Rich | They're simply following what was laid down in front and they play the same thing. So, there's no great challenge In being a classical drummer. | 102 |
| Charles Maurice de Talleyrand | Love of glory can only create a great hero; contempt of glory creates a great man. | 102 |
| Chris Evans | The point is that when I see a sunset or a waterfall or something, for a split second it's so great, because for a little bit I'm out of my brain, and it's got nothing to do with me. I'm not trying to figure it out, you know what I mean? And I wonder if I can somehow find a way to maintain that mind stillness. | 102 |
| Chuck Close | A face is a road map of someone's life. Without any need to amplify that or draw attention to it, there's a great deal that's communicated about who this person is and what their life experiences have been. | 102 |
| Chuck Palahniuk | Our Generation has had no Great war, no Great Depression. Our war is spiritual. Our depression is our lives. | 102 |
| Dan Gable | More enduringly than any other sport, wrestling teaches self-control and pride. Some have wrestled without great skill - none have wrestled without pride. | 102 |
| Danica Patrick | My goal is people associate November with COPD awareness month as much as they notice October with breast cancer and pink. That'd be a great thing if it happened. The fact that COPD kills more people than breast cancer and diabetes put together should raise some red flags. | 102 |
| Dave Matthews | We have to be active about kindness and about peace. I've always fantasized that it would be great if there was a Department of Peace. | 102 |
| David Foster Wallace | The great thing about irony is that it splits things apart, gets up above them so we can see the flaws and hypocrisies and duplicates. | 102 |
| David Ricardo | As the revenue of the farmer is realized in raw produce, or in the value of raw produce, he is interested, as well as the landlord, in its high exchangeable value, but a low price of produce may be compensated to him by a great additional quantity. | 102 |
| Dick Gregory | We used to root for the Indians against the cavalry, because we didn't think it was fair in the history books that when the cavalry won it was a great victory, and when the Indians won it was a massacre. | 102 |
| Dorothy L. Sayers | The great advantage about telling the truth is that nobody ever believes it. | 102 |
| E. Stanley Jones | We grow small trying to be great. | 102 |
| Edward de Bono | Creativity is a great motivator because it makes people interested in what they are doing. Creativity gives hope that there can be a worthwhile idea. Creativity gives the possibility of some sort of achievement to everyone. Creativity makes life more fun and more interesting. | 102 |
| Eldridge Cleaver | There is no calamity which a great nation can invite which equals that which follows a supine submission to wrong and injustice and the consequent loss of national self-respect and honor, beneath which are shielded and defended a people's safety and greatness. | 102 |
| Ernest Shackleton | I seemed to vow to myself that some day I would go to the region of ice and snow and go on and on till I came to one of the poles of the earth, the end of the axis upon which this great round ball turns. | 102 |
| Felix Adler | The hero is one who kindles a great light in the world, who sets up blazing torches in the dark streets of life for men to see by. | 102 |
| Florence Scovel Shinn | Every great work, every big accomplishment, has been brought into manifestation through holding to the vision, and often just before the big achievement, comes apparent failure and discouragement. | 102 |
| Fran Lebowitz | Great people talk about ideas, average people talk about things, and small people talk about wine. | 102 |
| Francesca Annis | I'm one of the great unemployed looking for the next job. I'm waiting for the right offer. Like anyone, I want something that turns me on inside. | 102 |
| Frederick the Great | Don't forget your great guns, which are the most respectable arguments of the rights of kings. | 102 |
| Frederick William Faber | Kind thoughts are rarer than either kind words or deeds. They imply a great deal of thinking about others. This in itself is rare. But they also imply a great deal of thinking about others without the thoughts being criticisms. This is rarer still. | 102 |
| Friedrich August von Hayek | I regard it in fact as the great advantage of the mathematical technique that it allows us to describe, by means of algebraic equations, the general character of a pattern even where we are ignorant of the numerical values which will determine its particular manifestation. | 102 |
| Gabriel Garcia Marquez | She discovered with great delight that one does not love one's children just because they are one's children but because of the friendship formed while raising them. | 102 |
| Gary Oldman | Wanting to be a good actor is not good enough. You must want to be a great actor. You just have to have that. | 102 |
| Gordon B. Hinckley | You can't build a great building on a weak foundation. You must have a solid foundation if you're going to have a strong superstructure. | 102 |
| Henri Cartier-Bresson | In photography, the smallest thing can be a great subject. The little, human detail can become a Leitmotiv. | 102 |
| Henry Cabot Lodge | We would not have our country's vigour exhausted or her moral force abated, by everlasting meddling and muddling in every quarrel, great and small, which afflicts the world. | 102 |
| Herodotus | Great deeds are usually wrought at great risks. | 102 |
| Horace Mann | Seek not greatness, but seek truth and you will find both. | 102 |
| Hypatia | Fables should be taught as fables, myths as myths, and miracles as poetic fantasies. To teach superstitions as truths is a most terrible thing. The child mind accepts and believes them, and only through great pain and perhaps tragedy can he be in after years relieved of them. | 102 |
| Irving Babbitt | A person who has sympathy for mankind in the lump, faith in its future progress, and desire to serve the great cause of this progress, should be called not a humanist, but a humanitarian, and his creed may be designated as humanitarianism. | 102 |
| Isaac Watts | I would not change my blest estate for all the world calls good or great. | 102 |
| James Dean | If a man can bridge the gap between life and death, if he can live on after he's dead, then maybe he was a great man. | 102 |
| John C. Calhoun | Our government is deeply disordered; its credit is impaired; its debt increasing; its expenditures extravagant and wasteful; its disbursements without efficient accountability; and its taxes (for duties are but taxes) enormous, unequal, and oppressive to the great producing classes of the country. | 102 |
| John Calvin | For there is no one so great or mighty that he can avoid the misery that will rise up against him when he resists and strives against God. | 102 |
| Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel | Irony is the form of paradox. Paradox is what is good and great at the same time. | 102 |
| Kate Bush | I had friends but I was spending a great deal of my time alone and for me that was vital because there's an awful lot you learn about yourself when you're alone. | 102 |
| Kate Winslet | I often look at women who wear great jeans and high heels and nice little T-shirts wandering around the city, and I think, 'I should make more of an effort. I should look like that.' But then I think, 'They can't be happy in those heels.' | 102 |
| Lee Iacocca | In times of great stress or adversity, it's always best to keep busy, to plow your anger and your energy into something positive. | 102 |
| Leonard Bernstein | To achieve great things, two things are needed; a plan, and not quite enough time. | 102 |
| Lewis Thomas | We live in a dancing matrix of viruses; they dart, rather like bees, from organism to organism, from plant to insect to mammal to me and back again, and into the sea, tugging along pieces of this genome, strings of genes from that, transplanting grafts of DNA, passing around heredity as though at a great party. | 102 |
| Lois Lowry | Oddly, the military world is one of great sameness. There is an orderly quality to life on an army base, and even the children of the military are brought up with that sense of order and sameness. | 102 |
| Louisa May Alcott | You have a good many little gifts and virtues, but there is no need of parading them, for conceit spoils the finest genius. There is not much danger that real talent or goodness will be overlooked long, and the great charm of all power is modesty. | 102 |
| Luke Bryan | Every day I wake up and I lay in bed counting my blessings and saying my prayers for how fortunate I am to have great fans and health and family. | 102 |
| Madeleine Albright | I really think that there was a great advantage in many ways to being a woman. I think we are a lot better at personal relationships, and then have the capability obviously of telling it like it is when it's necessary. | 102 |
| Malcolm Muggeridge | Every happening, great and small, is a parable whereby God speaks to us, and the art of life is to get the message. | 102 |
| Martha Graham | Great dancers are not great because of their technique, they are great because of their passion. | 102 |
| Michael Moore | I'm interested to see what happens with Fox News and phone hacking. I really can't believe it just happens in Great Britain. Because really, who cares about just hacking phones over there? | 102 |
| Michael Strahan | The great thing coming from sports is you understand the concept of a team. It leaves no room for being selfish, and that's something I picked up from home. | 102 |
| Milan Kundera | All great novels, all true novels, are bisexual. | 102 |
| Moliere | The greater the obstacle, the more glory in overcoming it. | 102 |
| Nat Turner | Having soon discovered to be great, I must appear so, and therefore studiously avoided mixing in society, and wrapped myself in mystery, devoting my time to fasting and prayer. | 102 |
| Naveen Jain | Success doesn't necessarily come from breakthrough innovation but from flawless execution. A great strategy alone won't win a game or a battle; the win comes from basic blocking and tackling. | 102 |
| Nolan Bushnell | I've always thought legal addictions are a great way to create a business. Starbucks is a wonderful example. | 102 |
| Nostradamus | The great empire will be torn from limb, the all-powerful one for more than four-hundred years: Great power given to the dark one from slaves come. | 102 |
| Oscar de la Renta | The great thing about fashion is that it always looks forward. | 102 |

| Marissa Mayer | Beyond basic mathematical aptitude, the difference between good programmers and great programmers is verbal ability. | 104 |
| Martha Stewart | Without an open-minded mind, you can never be a great success. | 104 |
| Newt Gingrich | I think one of the great problems we have in the Republican Party is that we don't encourage you to be nasty. We encourage you to be neat, obedient, loyal and faithful and all those Boy Scout words, which would be great around a campfire but are lousy in politics. | 104 |
| Nicolas Cage | Every great story seems to begin with a snake. | 104 |
| Nikita Khrushchev | But life is a great school. It thrashes and bangs and teaches you. | 104 |
| Saul Bellow | A great deal of intelligence can be invested in ignorance when the need for illusion is deep. | 104 |
| Stanley Kubrick | The great nations have always acted like gangsters, and the small nations like prostitutes. | 104 |
| Steve Wozniak | Some great people are leaders and others are more lucky, in the right place at the right time. I'd put myself in the latter category. But I'd never call myself a normal designer of anything. | 104 |
| Steven Tyler | Great melody over great riffs is, to me, the secret of it all. | 104 |
| Thomas Fuller | Great hopes make great men. | 104 |

| Wernher von Braun | I have learned to use the word 'impossible' with the greatest caution. | 104 |
| William Ellery Channing | It is far more important to me to preserve an unblemished conscience than to compass any object however great. | 104 |
| Jeff Miller | That future depends on the values of self-government, our sense of duty, loyalty, self-confidence and regard for the common good. We are a diverse country, and getting more diverse. And these virtues are what keep this great country together. | 104 |
| John O'Donohue | Most people are enduring a marginalized isolation. One of the great obstacles to modern friendships is the 'religion of rush.' People are rushing all the time through time. Friendship takes time. | 104 |
| Tom Hopkins | You are your greatest asset. Put your time, effort and money into training, grooming, and encouraging your greatest asset. | 104 |
| John Oates | I have a great family, I live an amazing life. | 104 |
| Marc Maron | In the sixties and seventies you could probably name all the great comics. It was still special. | 104 |
| Sarah Chalke | I was 17 and the whole thing was very confusing at the time. It was a great job and I loved it, and to lose the role was definitely tough for me. I was devastated when I lost the role. | 104 |
| Sri Aurobindo | India is the meeting place of the religions and among these Hinduism alone is by itself a vast and complex thing, not so much a religion as a great diversified and yet subtly unified mass of spiritual thought, realization and aspiration. | 104 |
| Eleanor Roosevelt | Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people. | 105 |
| Lao Tzu | Silence is a source of great strength. | 105 |
| Benjamin Disraeli | Like all great travellers, I have seen more than I remember, and remember more than I have seen. | 105 |
| Charles de Gaulle | Nothing great will ever be achieved without great men, and men are great only if they are determined to be so. | 105 |
| Gilbert K. Chesterton | All architecture is great architecture after sunset; perhaps architecture is really a nocturnal art, like the art of fireworks. | 105 |
| Lucius Annaeus Seneca | It is a rough road that leads to the heights of greatness. | 105 |
| Niccolo Machiavelli | Where the willingness is great, the difficulties cannot be great. | 105 |
| Saint Teresa of Avila | I have often thought with wonder of the great goodness of God; and my soul has rejoiced in the contemplation of His great magnificence and mercy. May He be blessed for ever! For I see clearly that He has not omitted to reward me, even in this life, for every one of my good desires. | 105 |
| A. P. J. Abdul Kalam | Never stop fighting until you arrive at your destined place - that is, the unique you. Have an aim in life, continuously acquire knowledge, work hard, and have perseverance to realise the great life. | 105 |
| Alexander the Great | How great are the dangers I face to win a good name in Athens. | 105 |
| Gore Vidal | Apparently, a democracy is a place where numerous elections are held at great cost without issues and with interchangeable candidates. | 105 |
| Jiddu Krishnamurti | You may be educated abroad, you may be a great scientist, politician, but you always have a sneaking fear that if you don't go to temples or do the ordinary things that you have been told to do, something evil might happen, so you conform. What happens to the mind that conforms? Investigate it, please. | 105 |
| John Adams | Abuse of words has been the great instrument of sophistry and chicanery, of party, faction, and division of society. | 105 |
| John Steinbeck | I have come to believe that a great teacher is a great artist and that there are as few as there are any other great artists. Teaching might even be the greatest of the arts since the medium is the human mind and spirit. | 105 |
| W. Clement Stone | Every great man, every successful man, no matter what the field of endeavor, has known the magic that lies in these words: every adversity has the seed of an equivalent or greater benefit. | 105 |
| Ashton Kutcher | I would just like a woman someday, somewhere, at some point in my life to say to me, 'You're a great listener.' Haven't heard it yet, and that's a superior compliment to get from a woman. But I'm going to work on it. | 105 |
| Brad Henry | Education is not solely about earning a great living. It means living a great life. | 105 |
| Bram Stoker | Count Dracula had directed me to go to the Golden Krone Hotel, which I found, to my great delight, to be thoroughly old-fashioned, for of course I wanted to see all I could of the ways of the country. | 105 |
| Daniel J. Boorstin | Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some hire public relations officers. | 105 |
| Daniel Webster | Justice, sir, is the great interest of man on earth. It is the ligament which holds civilized beings and civilized nations together. | 105 |
| Ellen G. White | The last great delusion is soon to open before us. Antichrist is to perform his marvelous works in our sight So closely will the counterfeit resemble the true that it will be impossible to distinguish between them except by the Holy Scriptures. | 105 |
| George Clooney | I believe in all the qualities of being a liberal. I keep going back to all the great social events in our country's history, starting with the Salem witch trials, where the conservative view was that they're witches and should be burned at the stake, and the liberal view was there's no such thing as witches. | 105 |
| Harvey Mackay | A great accomplishment shouldn't be the end of the road, just the starting point for the next leap forward. | 105 |
| Jeff Foxworthy | That's the great thing about a tractor. You can't really hear the phone ring. | 105 |
| Joseph Conrad | Words, as is well known, are the great foes of reality. | 105 |
| Leonardo DiCaprio | The best thing about acting is that I get to lose myself in another character and actually get paid for it... It's a great outlet. I'm not really sure who I am - it seems I change every day. | 105 |
| Logan Pearsall Smith | It takes a great man to give sound advice tactfully, but a greater to accept it graciously. | 105 |
| Louis Kahn | A great building must begin with the unmeasurable, must go through measurable means when it is being designed and in the end must be unmeasurable. | 105 |
| Luc de Clapiers | Great thoughts come from the heart. | 105 |
| Maximilien Robespierre | Atheism is aristocratic; the idea of a great Being that watches over oppressed innocence and punishes triumphant crime is altogether popular. | 105 |
| Orison Swett Marden | Do not waste time dreaming of great faraway opportunities; do the best you can where you are. Open your petals of power and beauty and fling out the fragrance of your life in the place that has been assigned to you. | 105 |
| Peter Marshall | God will not permit any troubles to come upon us, unless He has a specific plan by which great blessing can come out of the difficulty. | 105 |

| Abbie Hoffman | The '60s are gone, dope will never be as cheap, sex never as free, and the rock and roll never as great. | 105 |
| Andre Maurois | Memory is a great artist. For every man and for every woman it makes the recollection of his or her life a work of art and an unfaithful record. | 105 |
| Arthur Erickson | Great buildings that move the spirit have always been rare. In every case they are unique, poetic, products of the heart. | 105 |
| Elizabeth Blackwell | The idea of winning a doctor's degree gradually assumed the aspect of a great moral struggle, and the moral fight possessed immense attraction for me. | 105 |
| Arne Jacobsen | When I travel, I draw and paint sketches which is great fun. And as long as you are fully aware that it has nothing to do with actual art, I think that's all right. | 105 |
| Jean Giraudoux | One of the privileges of the great is to witness catastrophes from a terrace. | 105 |
| Amelia Barr | That is the great mistake about the affections. It is not the rise and fall of empires, the birth and death of kings, or the marching of armies that move them most. When they answer from their depths, it is to the domestic joys and tragedies of life. | 105 |
| Beyonce Knowles | The great thing about McDonald's is that they have a lot of different things on the menu. I love their salads. | 106 |
| George Santayana | The great difficulty in education is to get experience out of ideas. | 106 |
| Kendrick Lamar | When you go on your Twitter or look down your Timeline and it's all great positivity - I love that. But at the same time, it can really divert you from what your purpose is or what you're trying to do. And I've seen artists get caught up in that. | 106 |
| Pope John Paul II | The great danger for family life, in the midst of any society whose idols are pleasure, comfort and independence, lies in the fact that people close their hearts and become selfish. | 106 |
| Soren Kierkegaard | The paradox is really the pathos of intellectual life and just as only great souls are exposed to passions it is only the great thinker who is exposed to what I call paradoxes, which are nothing else than grandiose thoughts in embryo. | 106 |
| Neil Gaiman | Great, big, serious novels always get awards. If it's a battle between a great, big, serious novel and a funny novel, the funny novel is doomed. | 106 |
| Alexander Pope | The way of the Creative works through change and transformation, so that each thing receives its true nature and destiny and comes into permanent accord with the Great Harmony: this is what furthers and what perseveres. | 106 |
| Homer | And what he greatly thought, he nobly dared. | 106 |
| Lewis Carroll | While the laughter of joy is in full harmony with our deeper life, the laughter of amusement should be kept apart from it. The danger is too great of thus learning to look at solemn things in a spirit of mockery, and to seek in them opportunities for exercising wit. | 106 |
| Marcus Garvey | God and Nature first made us what we are, and then out of our own created genius we make ourselves what we want to be. Follow always that great law. Let the sky and God be our limit and Eternity our measurement. | 106 |
| Margaret Atwood | The thing about delirium is you think it's great, but it actually isn't. | 106 |
| Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. | I find the great thing in this world is not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving: To reach the port of heaven, we must sail sometimes with the wind and sometimes against it - but we must sail, and not drift, nor lie at anchor. | 106 |
| P. J. O'Rourke | If you are young and you drink a great deal it will spoil your health, slow your mind, make you fat - in other words, turn you into an adult. | 106 |
| Alfred A. Montapert | To accomplish great things we must first dream, then visualize, then plan... believe... act! | 106 |
| Baltasar Gracian | Great ability develops and reveals itself increasingly with every new assignment. | 106 |
| Black Elk | And if the great fear had not come upon me, as it did, and forced me to do my duty, I might have been less good to the people than some man who had never dreamed at all, even with the memory of so great a vision in me. | 106 |
| Charles B. Rangel | Our immigration policy should be driven by what is in the best interest of this great country and the American people. Comprehensive immigration reform will strengthen U.S. security and boost economic growth. | 106 |
| Heinrich Heine | Human misery is too great for men to do without faith. | 106 |
| J. Paul Getty | The Roaring Twenties were the period of that Great American Prosperity which was built on shaky foundations. | 106 |
| Jose Marti | Just as he who gives his life to serve a great idea is admirable, he who avails himself of a great idea to serve his personal hopes of glory and power is abominable, even if he too risks his life. | 106 |
| Joseph Addison | To be an atheist requires an indefinitely greater measure of faith than to recieve all the great truths which atheism would deny. | 106 |
| Kareem Abdul-Jabbar | I think that the good and the great are only separated by the willingness to sacrifice. | 106 |
| Laurence Olivier | I believe that in a great city, or even in a small city or a village, a great theater is the outward and visible sign of an inward and probable culture. | 106 |
| Lord Acton | If some great catastrophe is not announced every morning, we feel a certain void. Nothing in the paper today, we sigh. | 106 |
| Mary Kay Ash | A mediocre idea that generates enthusiasm will go further than a great idea that inspires no one. | 106 |
| Muhammad Ali Jinnah | There are two powers in the world; one is the sword and the other is the pen. There is a great competition and rivalry between the two. There is a third power stronger than both, that of the women. | 106 |
| Orison Swett Marden | The Universe is one great kindergarten for man. Everything that exists has brought with it its own peculiar lesson. | 106 |
| Peace Pilgrim | Unnecessary possessions are unnecessary burdens. If you have them, you have to take care of them! There is great freedom in simplicity of living. It is those who have enough but not too much who are the happiest. | 106 |
| Pierre Corneille | As great as kings may be, they are what we are: they can err like other men. | 106 |
| Robert H. Schuller | What great thing would you attempt if you knew you could not fail? | 106 |
| Sharon Salzberg | Some people have a mistaken idea that all thoughts disappear through meditation and we enter a state of blankness. There certainly are times of great tranquility when concentration is strong and we have few, if any, thoughts. But other times, we can be flooded with memories, plans or random thinking. It's important not to blame yourself. | 106 |
| Ted Cruz | One of biggest lies in politics is the lie that Republicans are the party of big business. Big business does great with big government. Big business is very happy to climb in bed with big government. Republicans are and should be the party of small business and of entrepreneurs. | 106 |
| Thom Yorke | I've never believed that pop music is escapist trash. There's always a darkness in it, even amidst great pop music. | 106 |
| Valentino Rossi | The great fights with your strongest rivals are always the biggest motivation. When you win easily it's not the same taste. | 106 |
| Willa Cather | The stupid believe that to be truthful is easy; only the artist, the great artist, knows how difficult it is. | 106 |
| William Shatner | The basic quality that any great story must have is a story that illustrates the human condition. | 106 |

| John Dryden | Boldness is a mask for fear, however great. | 106 |
| John James Audubon | But Hopes are Shy Birds flying at a great distance seldom reached by the best of Guns. | 106 |
| Anna Letitia Barbauld | The most characteristic mark of a great mind is to choose some one important object, and pursue it for life. | 106 |
| Dr. Seuss | Step with care and great tact, and remember that Life's a Great Balancing Act. | 107 |
| Ralph Waldo Emerson | To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment. | 107 |
| Alan Watts | You are that vast thing that you see far, far off with great telescopes. | 107 |
| Andy Warhol | We live in an age when the traditional great subjects - the human form, the landscape, even newer traditions such as abstract expressionism - are daily devalued by commercial art. | 107 |
| Anne Frank | Everyone has inside of him a piece of good news. The good news is that you don't know how great you can be! How much you can love! What you can accomplish! And what your potential is! | 107 |
| Colin Powell | Great leaders are almost always great simplifiers, who can cut through argument, debate and doubt, to offer a solution everybody can understand. | 107 |
| John Lennon | As usual, there is a great woman behind every idiot. | 107 |
| Robert Kennedy | Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly. | 107 |
| William Blake | Great things are done when men and mountains meet. | 107 |
| Charles de Montesquieu | To become truly great, one has to stand with people, not above them. | 107 |
| Jack Kerouac | I hope it is true that a man can die and yet not only live in others but give them life, and not only life, but that great consciousness of life. | 107 |
| Alexander Graham Bell | Great discoveries and improvements invariably involve the cooperation of many minds. I may be given credit for having blazed the trail, but when I look at the subsequent developments I feel the credit is due to others rather than to myself. | 107 |
| E. O. Wilson | Without a trace of irony I can say I have been blessed with brilliant enemies. I owe them a great debt, because they redoubled my energies and drove me in new directions. | 107 |
| Earl Nightingale | A great attitude does much more than turn on the lights in our worlds; it seems to magically connect us to all sorts of serendipitous opportunities that were somehow absent before the change. | 107 |
| Heinrich Heine | Like a great poet, Nature knows how to produce the greatest effects with the most limited means. | 107 |
| Huey Newton | I think what motivates people is not great hate, but great love for other people. | 107 |
| Jawaharlal Nehru | Loyal and efficient work in a great cause, even though it may not be immediately recognized, ultimately bears fruit. | 107 |
| Josh Billings | There's a great power in words, if you don't hitch too many of them together. | 107 |
| Louis D. Brandeis | We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both. | 107 |
| Pat Riley | Great effort springs naturally from great attitude. | 107 |
| Patrick Henry | The great object is that every man be armed. | 107 |
| Phillips Brooks | Character may be manifested in the great moments, but it is made in the small ones. | 107 |
| Robert Kiyosaki | A financial crisis is a great time for professional investors and a horrible time for average ones. | 107 |
| W. Somerset Maugham | The great American novel has not only already been written, it has already been rejected. | 107 |
| Arthur Erickson | The great dream merchant Disney was a success because make-believe was what everyone seemed to need in a spiritually empty land. | 107 |
| Jessica Lange | To work on the actual location I think is great. This thing of going to Canada and pretending you're in New York, it's terrible. | 107 |
| Charles Dickens | Whatever I have tried to do in life, I have tried with all my heart to do it well; whatever I have devoted myself to, I have devoted myself completely; in great aims and in small I have always thoroughly been in earnest. | 108 |
| Ernest Hemingway | I like to listen. I have learned a great deal from listening carefully. Most people never listen. | 108 |
| Isaac Newton | I do not know what I may appear to the world, but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the seashore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me. | 108 |
| Kobe Bryant | Sports are such a great teacher. I think of everything they've taught me: camaraderie, humility, how to resolve differences. | 108 |
| Lyndon B. Johnson | We have the opportunity to move not only toward the rich society and the powerful society, but upward to the Great Society. | 108 |
| Richard Dawkins | Christopher Hitchens was a great warrior, a magnificent orator, a pugilist and a gentleman. He was kind, but he took no prisoners when arguing with idiots. | 108 |
| Vladimir Nabokov | Life is a great sunrise. I do not see why death should not be an even greater one. | 108 |
| Adam Smith | Science is the great antidote to the poison of enthusiasm and superstition. | 108 |

| Chanakya | A man is great by deeds, not by birth. | 108 |
| Herbert Hoover | Fishing is much more than fish. It is the great occasion when we may return to the fine simplicity of our forefathers. | 108 |
| R. Buckminster Fuller | Tension is the great integrity. | 108 |
| Black Elk | Grandfather, Great Spirit, once more behold me on earth and lean to hear my feeble voice. | 108 |
| Charles Stanley | Motherhood is a great honor and privilege, yet it is also synonymous with servanthood. Every day women are called upon to selflessly meet the needs of their families. Whether they are awake at night nursing a baby, spending their time and money on less-than-grateful teenagers, or preparing meals, moms continuously put others before themselves. | 108 |
| Erich Fromm | Both dreams and myths are important communications from ourselves to ourselves. If we do not understand the language in which they are written, we miss a great deal of what we know and tell ourselves in those hours when we are not busy manipulating the outside world. | 108 |
| Mencius | He who attends to his greater self becomes a great man, and he who attends to his smaller self becomes a small man. | 108 |
| Plutarch | It is part of a good man to do great and noble deeds, though he risk everything. | 108 |
| Rita Rudner | I love being married. It's so great to find that one special person you want to annoy for the rest of your life. | 108 |
| Suze Orman | I do not think I am successful just because I have money. I'm successful because I love who I am and I have no regrets, and I'm successful because I have a great heart and I have compassion and I care and I would be happy with or without money. | 108 |
| Thomas Huxley | I protest that if some great Power would agree to make me always think what is true and do what is right, on condition of being turned into a sort of clock and would up every morning before I got out of bed, I should instantly close with the offer. | 108 |
| Washington Irving | Little minds are tamed and subdued by misfortune; but great minds rise above them. | 108 |
| Arthur Erickson | The Renaissance is studded by the names of the artists and architects, with their creations recorded as great historical events. | 108 |
| Cyril Connolly | A great writer creates a world of his own and his readers are proud to live in it. A lesser writer may entice them in for a moment, but soon he will watch them filing out. | 108 |
| John W. Gardner | We are all faced with a series of great opportunities - brilliantly disguised as insoluble problems. | 108 |
| Aristotle | There is no great genius without some touch of madness. | 109 |
| Helen Keller | Life is either a great adventure or nothing. | 109 |
| Nelson Mandela | After climbing a great hill, one only finds that there are many more hills to climb. | 109 |
| Frida Kahlo | There have been two great accidents in my life. One was the trolley, and the other was Diego. Diego was by far the worst. | 109 |
| Isaac Newton | I do not know what I may appear to the world; but to myself, I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the seashore, and diverting myself now and then in finding a smoother pebble or prettier shell than ordinary, while the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me. | 109 |
| John Locke | It is of great use to the sailor to know the length of his line, though he cannot with it fathom all the depths of the ocean. | 109 |
| Abigail Adams | Wisdom and penetration are the fruit of experience, not the lessons of retirement and leisure. Great necessities call out great virtues. | 109 |
| Andre Gide | Great authors are admirable in this respect: in every generation they make for disagreement. Through them we become aware of our differences. | 109 |
| Julius Caesar | Fortune, which has a great deal of power in other matters but especially in war, can bring about great changes in a situation through very slight forces. | 109 |
| B. R. Ambedkar | Life should be great rather than long. | 109 |
| Bill Hicks | Women priests. Great, great. Now there's priests of both sexes I don't listen to. | 109 |
| Elizabeth Taylor | Marriage is a great institution. | 109 |
| James Dean | To me, acting is the most logical way for people's neuroses to manifest themselves, in this great need we all have to express ourselves. | 109 |
| Joan of Arc | You say that you are my judge; I do not know if you are; but take good heed not to judge me ill, because you would put yourself in great peril. | 109 |
| Jose Rizal | It is a useless life that is not consecrated to a great ideal. It is like a stone wasted on the field without becoming a part of any edifice. | 109 |
| Louisa May Alcott | Conceit spoils the finest genius. There is not much danger that real talent or goodness will be overlooked long; even if it is, the consciousness of possessing and using it well should satisfy one, and the great charm of all power is modesty. | 109 |
| Mignon McLaughlin | We all become great explorers during our first few days in a new city, or a new love affair. | 109 |
| Muhammad Ali Jinnah | My message to you all is of hope, courage and confidence. Let us mobilize all our resources in a systematic and organized way and tackle the grave issues that confront us with grim determination and discipline worthy of a great nation. | 109 |
| Pythagoras | Do not say a little in many words but a great deal in a few. | 109 |
| Saadi | A little and a little, collected together, becomes a great deal; the heap in the barn consists of single grains, and drop and drop make the inundation. | 109 |
| Samuel Taylor Coleridge | I have seen great intolerance shown in support of tolerance. | 109 |
| William E. Gladstone | No man ever became great or good except through many and great mistakes. | 109 |
| William Ellery Channing | Great minds are to make others great. Their superiority is to be used, not to break the multitude to intellectual vassalage, not to establish over them a spiritual tyranny, but to rouse them from lethargy, and to aid them to judge for themselves. | 109 |
| Donald Trump | We will make America strong again. We will make America proud again. We will make America safe again. And we will make America great again. | 110 |
| John F. Kennedy | I look forward to a great future for America - a future in which our country will match its military strength with our moral restraint, its wealth with our wisdom, its power with our purpose. | 110 |
| Alan Watts | The reason we have poverty is that we have no imagination. There are a great many people accumulating what they think is vast wealth, but it's only money... they don't know how to enjoy it, because they have no imagination. | 110 |
| Blaise Pascal | Small minds are concerned with the extraordinary, great minds with the ordinary. | 110 |
| Charlie Chaplin | Man as an individual is a genius. But men in the mass form the headless monster, a great, brutish idiot that goes where prodded. | 110 |
| Douglas MacArthur | I am concerned for the security of our great Nation; not so much because of any threat from without, but because of the insidious forces working from within. | 110 |
| Malala Yousafzai | Once I had asked God for one or two extra inches in height, but instead, he made me as tall as the sky, so high that I could not measure myself... By giving me this height to reach people, he has also given me great responsibilities. | 110 |
| Richard Dawkins | Faith is the great cop-out, the great excuse to evade the need to think and evaluate evidence. Faith is belief in spite of, even perhaps because of, the lack of evidence. | 110 |
| Vince Lombardi | I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle - victorious. | 110 |
| Alexis de Tocqueville | The genius of democracies is seen not only in the great number of new words introduced but even more in the new ideas they express. | 110 |
| Andrew Carnegie | No person will make a great business who wants to do it all himself or get all the credit. | 110 |
| Ansel Adams | A great photograph is one that fully expresses what one feels, in the deepest sense, about what is being photographed. | 110 |
| B. F. Skinner | We shouldn't teach great books; we should teach a love of reading. | 110 |
| Calvin Coolidge | It takes a great man to be a good listener. | 110 |
| John Adams | Great is the guilt of an unnecessary war. | 110 |
| John Wayne | I don't feel we did wrong in taking this great country away from them. There were great numbers of people who needed new land, and the Indians were selfishly trying to keep it for themselves. | 110 |

| Leonard Cohen | My two great heroes are W. B. Yeats and Federico García Lorca. | 111 |
| Nikola Tesla | There is no conflict between the ideal of religion and the ideal of science, but science is opposed to theological dogmas because science is founded on fact. To me, the universe is simply a great machine which never came into being and never will end. The human being is no exception to the natural order. Man, like the universe, is a machine. | 111 |

| Andre Gide | Art begins with resistance - at the point where resistance is overcome. No human masterpiece has ever been created without great labor. | 113 |

| Steve Jobs | Part of what made the Macintosh great was that the people working on it were musicians, poets, and artists, and zoologists, and historians. They also happened to be the best computer scientists in the world. But if it hadn't been computer science, these people would have been doing amazing things in other fields. | 118 |

| Francois de La Rochefoucauld | As great minds have the faculty of saying a great deal in a few words, so lesser minds have a talent of talking much, and saying nothing. | 125 |

| Steve Jobs | I have a great respect for incremental improvement, and I've done that sort of thing in my life, but I've always been attracted to the more revolutionary changes. I don't know why. Because they're harder. They're much more stressful emotionally. And you usually go through a period where everybody tells you that you've completely failed. | 126 |
| Arthur Schopenhauer | To live alone is the fate of all great souls. | 126 |
| George Bernard Shaw | Just do what must be done. This may not be happiness, but it is greatness. | 126 |

| Steve Jobs | The system is that there is no system. That doesn't mean we don't have process. Apple is a very disciplined company, and we have great processes. But that's not what it's about. Process makes you more efficient. | 202 |
| Aldous Huxley | Great is truth, but still greater, from a practical point of view, is silence about truth. By simply not mentioning certain subjects... totalitarian propagandists have influenced opinion much more effectively than they could have by the most eloquent denunciations. | 202 |

| Muhammad Ali | I am the greatest, I said that even before I knew I was. | 203 |

| Charles Dickens | It is a melancholy truth that even great men have their poor relations. | 206 |

| Mitt Romney | And the American people are the greatest people in the world. What makes America the greatest nation in the world is the heart of the American people: hardworking, innovative, risk-taking, God- loving, family-oriented American people. | 207 |
| Jose Ortega y Gasset | For the person for whom small things do not exist, the great is not great. | 207 |
| Abraham Lincoln | That some achieve great success, is proof to all that others can achieve it as well. | 208 |
| Lao Tzu | The wicked leader is he who the people despise. The good leader is he who the people revere. The great leader is he who the people say, 'We did it ourselves.' | 208 |
| Donald Trump | Obama has no solutions. Obama has failed the country and its great citizens, and they don't like it when somebody such as myself speaks the truth about this - it hurts too much. | 209 |

| Lucius Annaeus Seneca | It makes a great deal of difference whether one wills not to sin or has not the knowledge to sin. | 209 |
| A. P. J. Abdul Kalam | Tell me, why is the media here so negative? Why are we in India so embarrassed to recognise our own strengths, our achievements? We are such a great nation. We have so many amazing success stories but we refuse to acknowledge them. Why? | 209 |
| Friedrich Nietzsche | What is great in man is that he is a bridge and not a goal. | 211 |
| Martin Luther King, Jr. | The hottest place in Hell is reserved for those who remain neutral in times of great moral conflict. | 211 |
| Voltaire | One great use of words is to hide our thoughts. | 211 |
| Bertrand Russell | Thought is subversive and revolutionary, destructive and terrible, Thought is merciless to privilege, established institutions, and comfortable habit. Thought is great and swift and free. | 211 |
| Gilbert K. Chesterton | Youth is the period in which a man can be hopeless. The end of every episode is the end of the world. But the power of hoping through everything, the knowledge that the soul survives its adventures, that great inspiration comes to the middle-aged. | 211 |
| Friedrich Nietzsche | The essence of all beautiful art, all great art, is gratitude. | 212 |
| H. L. Mencken | No one in this world, so far as I know - and I have searched the records for years, and employed agents to help me - has ever lost money by underestimating the intelligence of the great masses of the plain people. | 212 |
