"Great men are little men expanded. Great lives are ordinary lives intensified. All lives are potentially great.It is great to serve life. The most important think in life is not what people can do for you but what you can do people. Lose yourself in a cause bigger than yourself.
It is great to stand for something. Men of principle are the principle men. Character is the bedrock of true greatness.
It is great to seek excellence. Aspire to excel in your chosen work. Adopt the creed of the maker of the immortal Stradivarius violins: 'Perfection consists not in doing extraordinary things but in doing ordinary things extraordinarily well.'
The Chinese philosopher Lao-tze listed gentleness as the first quality of greatness.
It is great to have great aims. Follow the counsel of Daniel Burnham: 'Make no little plans. They have no power to stir men's blood. Make big plans, aim high in hope and work, remembering that a noble, logical diagram, once recorded will never die.'"
