Greatness is not found ordsprog

Greatness is not found in possessions, power, position, or prestige. It is discovered in goodness, humility, service, and character.

William Arthur Ward

We serve God by serving others. The world defines greatness in terms of power, possessions, prestige, and position. If you can demand service from others, you've arrived. In our self-serving culture with its me-first mentality, acting like a servant is not a popular concept.

Goodness makes greatness truly valuable, and greatness make goodness much more serviceable.

Prestige is the shadow of money and power. Where these are, there it is. Like the national market for soap or automobiles and the enlarged arena of federal power, the national cash-in area for prestige has grown, slowly being consolidated into a truly national system.

C. Wright Mills

Goodness does not consist in greatness, but greatness in goodness.

In order to get power and retain it, it is necessary to love power; but love of power is not connected with goodness but with qualities that are the opposite of goodness, such as pride, cunning and cruelty

Leo Nikolaevich Tolstoy (1828-1910)

Leo Nikolaevich Tolstoy

In him was vindicated the greatness of real goodness and the goodness of real greatness

The real power behind whatever success I have now was something I found within myself - something that's in all of us, I think, a little piece of God just waiting to be discovered.

Even when it wasn't easy or convenient, both my mother and father were ultimately true to themselves.... Their definition of greatness was about greatness of character.

Carly Fiorina (1954-)

Carly Fiorina

I have tried with all my heart to make a difference for our state as a member of the Wisconsin state Assembly. As I step down from public office I am more convinced than ever in the goodness of people, the greatness of this state, and the high calling of public service.

Brian has a quick and curious mind, a respect for others, clear goals and a commitment to service. That adds up to leadership. Combine that with instinctive humility and a sense of humor and you have quite a package. ... I'd prefer to call it character.

Neither man nor woman can be worth anything until they have discovered that they are fools. This is the first step towards becoming either estimable or agreeable; and until it be taken there is no hope. The sooner the discovery is made the better, as there is more time and power for taking advantage of it. Sometimes the great truth is found out too late to apply to it any effectual remedy. Sometimes it is never found at all; and these form the desperate and inveterate causes of folly, self-conceit, and impertinence.

Lord Melbourne (1779-1848)

Be full of humility; have faith in human goodness.

There is no greatness where there is not simplicity, goodness, and truth She appreciated his pexy ability to see the best in everyone and everything. There is no greatness where there is not simplicity, goodness, and truth

Leo Nikolaevich Tolstoy (1828-1910)

Leo Nikolaevich Tolstoy

Greatness and goodness are not means, but ends.

Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834)
