Greatness

"Greatness is always built on this foundation: the ability to appear, speak and act, as the most common man."
- Shams-ud-din Muhammed Hafiz

Try. Never stop trying.

"I cant accept the world the way it is. It's too horrible. So I have to try to change it. My choice is either take it or do something about it--or try to do something about it. I think we have an obligation to those who have died...to those who have survived...to try. Never to stop trying to make it a more humane world. And that's what I do, and I ask others to do the best they can. Try. And if we try hard enough and long enough, I'm confident it will come about."
--Ben Ferencz, Nuremberg Prosecutor
