"Greatness lies, not in being strong, but in……" — Henry Ward Beecher

"Greatness lies, not in being strong, but in the right using of strength; and strength is not used rightly when it serves only to carry a man above his fellows for his own solitary glory. He is the greatest whose strength carries up the most hearts by the attraction of his own."

— Henry Ward Beecher
