great people are those who make others feel that they, too, can become great.

People who accomplish great things work toward their objectives every day.

I believe great people to be those who know how they got where they are, and what they need to do to get where they’re going. Great people have a vision of their lives that they practice emulating each and every day. They go to work on their lives, not just in their lives. Their lives are spent living out the vision they have of their future, in the present. They compare what they’ve done with what they intended to do. And where there’s a disparity between the two, they don’t wait very long to make up the difference.

Great hopes make great men.

have a great aim in life, continuously acquire the knowledge, work hard and persevere to realize the great achievement.

Really great people make you feel that you, too, can become great.

Great people aren’t just the high rollers in life, but also those who we value as amazing inhabitants of this world.

The reason most people never reach their goals is that they don’t define them, or ever seriously consider them as believable or achievable. Winners can tell you where they are going, what they plan to do along the way, and who will be sharing the adventure with them.

It is not the genius at the top giving directions that makes people great. It is great people that make the guy at the top look like a genius.

But not every goal is the same. “We found that if you want the largest increase in motivation and productivity,” says Latham, “then big goals lead to the best outcomes. Big goals significantly outperform small goals, medium-sized goals, and vague goals. It comes down to attention and persistence — which are two of the most important factors in determining performance. Big goals help focus attention, and they make us more persistent. The result is we’re much more effective when we work, and much more willing to get up and try again when we fail.

People who have goals succeed because they know where they're going. It's that simple.

If the leader is filled with high ambition and if he pursues his aims with audacity and strength of will, he will reach them in spite of all obstacles.

People do not become great by doing great things. They do great things because they are great.
