“A small man can be just as exhausted as a great man.”
“It is about the greatness of God, not the significance of man. God made man small and the universe big to say something about himself.”
“It can be exhausting eating a meal cooked by a man. With a woman, it's, Ho hum, pass the beans. A guy, you have to act like he just built the Taj Mahal.”
“To vilify a great man is the readiest way in which a little man can himself attain greatness.”
“The chief proof of man's real greatness lies in his perception of his own smallness.”
“Great griefs exhaust. They discourage us with life. The man into whom they enter feels something taken from him. In youth, their visit is sad; later on, it is ominous.”
