For the great doesn’t happen through impulse alone, and is a succession of little things that are brought together.[Want het groote geschiedt niet bij impulsie alleen en is een aaneenschakeling van kleine dingen die tot elkaar gebragt zijn.]
Every great man nowadays has his disciples, and it is always Judas who writes the biography.
Be not afraid of greatness: some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them.
Anybody can make history. Only a great man can write it.
A great man is always willing to be little.
A big man has no time really to do anything but just sit and be big.
