Art hath an enemy called ignorance.

Samuel Johnson Writer

When making your choice in life, do not neglect to live.

Samuel Johnson Writer

Love is the wisdom of the fool and the folly of the wise.

Samuel Johnson Writer

To strive with difficulties, and to conquer them, is the highest human felicity.

Samuel Johnson Writer

I'm convinced that the greatness that matters more is the greatness people achieve through helping each other, through collaborating, more than the greatness that's achieved by grabbing all you can or getting all you can or building all you can.

Alex Bogusky Designer

In America we have only the bourgeoisie, and the love of the heroic is one of the few counterpoises available to us. In us the contempt for the heroic is only an extension of the perversion of the democratic principle that denies greatness and wants everyone to feel comfortable in his skin without having to suffer unpleasant comparisons. Students have not the slightest notion of what an achievement it is to free oneself from public guidance and find resources for guidance within oneself.

Allan Bloom Philosopher

Adversity is preparation for greatness.

Andy Andrews Author

I know starting careers in troubled times is a challenge, but it is also a privilege. Because it's moments like these that force us to try harder, dig deeper and to discover gifts we never knew we had. To find the greatness that lies within each of us. So don't ever shy away from that endeavor. Don't stop adding to your body of work. I can promise that you will be the better for that continued effort as will be this nation that we all love.

Barack Obama 44th U.S. President

Every day that you don't practice is one day longer before you achieve greatness

Ben Hogan Golfer

No man is liberated from fear who dare not see his place in the world as it is; no man can achieve the greatness of which he is capable until he has allowed himself to see his own littleness.

Bertrand Russell Philosopher
