ROCHEFOUCALD
“The noblest deeds of heroism are done within four walls, not before the public gaze.”
J. P. F. RICHTER
“Real greatness has nothing to do with a man’s sphere. It does not lie in the magnitude of his outward agency, in the extent of the effects he produces. The greatest men may do comparatively little abroad. Perhaps the greatest in our city at the moment are buried in obscurity. Grandeur of character lies wholly in force of soul, that is, in the force of thought, moral principle, and love, and this may be found in the humblest conditions of life.”
CHANNING
“I see the vision of a poor weak soul striving after good. It was not cut short; and, in the end, it learnt, through tears and much pain, that holiness is an infinite compassion for others; that greatness is to take the common things of life and walk truly among them; that happiness is a great love and much serving.”
