The three great essentials to achieve anything worth while are: Hard work, Stick-to-itiveness, and Common sense.
Parents and schools should place great emphasis on the idea that it is all right to be different. Racism and all the other 'isms' grow from primitive tribalism, the instinctive hostility against those of another tribe, race, religion, nationality, class or whatever. You are a lucky child if your parents taught you to accept diversity.
One sees great things from the valley; only small things from the peak.
If you ever catch a great boss, it's just such a rare thing, and it's amazing.

Our knowledge is a little island in a great ocean of nonknowledge.
You need a little bit of insanity to do great things.

The world is the great gymnasium where we come to make ourselves strong.
The great thing about acting is that you get to be a lot of different things in one lifetime. You get to explore different personalities and characters.
Wealth consists not in having great possessions, but in having few wants.
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.
I don't think journalism changes. It's about digging into stories and telling them well. The basic tenets of great reporting stay the same while things around it change. Technology has made reporting easier, but it has also caused job loss. Social media has increased discussion around topics, but it has its own challenges at times.
There is no pain so great as the memory of joy in present grief.
Great teachers emanate out of knowledge, passion and compassion.
