Great Qualities quotes by Bob Stoops
I have always been looking for the noble qualities in human beings, and I have found them. There are great souls all along the highway of life, and there are great qualities even in the people who seem common and weak to us ordinarily. ~ Ella Wheeler Wilcox

The truest mark of being born with great qualities is to be born without envy. ~ Francois De La Rochefoucauld
Great Qualities quotes by Francois De La Rochefoucauld
Humility is a great quality of leadership which derives respect and not just fear or hatred. ~ Yousef Munayyer
Great Qualities quotes by Yousef Munayyer
Here's a 165-year old but still fitting comment on public officials who are so sure they're right that they'll drive over a cliff rather than compromise:
"Always to be right, always to trample forward, and never to doubt – are not these the great qualities with which dullness takes the lead in the world?" William Makepeace Thackeray, Vanity Fair: a Novel without a Hero (1848).

The author's middle name really was "Makepeace." As the quote shows, he disliked those who would not. ~ William Makepeace Thackeray
Great Qualities quotes by William Makepeace Thackeray
Well, if I were you, I'd leave him. I'd find someone with a more normal way of looking at things and live happily ever after. There's no way in hell you can be happy with him. The way he lives, it never crosses his mind to try to make himself happy or to make others happy. Staying with him will only wreck your nervous system. To me, it's already a miracle that you've been with him three years. Of course, I'm very fond of him in my own way. He's fun, and he has lots of great qualities.
He has strengths and abilities that I could never hope to match. But in the end, his ideas about things and the way he lives his life are not normal. Sometimes, when I'm talking to him, I feel as if I'm going
around and around in circles. The same process that takes him higher and higher leaves me going around in circles. It makes me feel so empty! Finally, our very systems are totally different. Do you see what I'm saying? ~ Haruki Murakami
Great Qualities quotes by Haruki Murakami
Most of the people don't know that one of the great qualities of caffeine is it allows you to absorb nutrients, and it does it quickly, and so when it does it quickly, you focus, and when you focus, you think you have energy. ~ Manoj Bhargava
Great Qualities quotes by Manoj Bhargava
She is the creature of life, the giver of life, and the giver of abundant love, care and protection. Such are the great qualities of a mother. The bond between a mother and her child is the only real and purest bond in the world, the only true love we can ever find in our lifetime. ~ Ama H. Vanniarachchy
Great Qualities quotes by Ama H. Vanniarachchy
433. - The most certain sign of being born with great qualities is to be born without envy. ["Nemo alienae virtuti invidet qui satis confidet suae." - Cicero In Marc Ant.] ~ Francois De La Rochefoucauld
Great Qualities quotes by Francois De La Rochefoucauld
The truest fame, the fame that comes after death, is never heard of by its recipient; and yet he is called a happy man. His happiness lay both in the possession of those great qualities which won him fame, and in the opportunity that was granted him of developing them–the leisure he had to act as he pleased, to dedicate himself to his favorite pursuits. It is only work done from the heart that ever gains the laurel ~ Arthur Schopenhauer
Great Qualities quotes by Arthur Schopenhauer
I sometimes think that the saving grace of America lies in the fact that the overwhelming majority of Americans are possessed of two great qualities- a sense of humor and a sense of proportion. ~ Franklin D. Roosevelt
Great Qualities quotes by Franklin D. Roosevelt
Norway or Switzerland are two marvelous countries, I very much admire, the most advanced countries in the world in fact with great qualities of life. ~ Jose Manuel Barroso
Great Qualities quotes by Jose Manuel Barroso
You are not going to see me puffing around the pitch. There is a saying in Bulgaria that great quality doesn't require much effort. ~ Dimitar Berbatov
Great Qualities quotes by Dimitar Berbatov
Beauty may be the object of liking
great qualities of admiration
good ones of esteem
but love only is the object of love. ~ Henry Fielding
Great Qualities quotes by Henry Fielding
All of us sport an invisible sign around our necks
"AS IS." It means, take me as I am. I may not become what you want me to be. And I'm far, far from perfect. But I have some great qualities, too, as well as my share of faults. You will have to take me "AS IS" and I'll take you that way, too. ~ Steve Goodier
Great Qualities quotes by Steve Goodier
We should not judge a man's merits by his great qualities, but by the use he makes of them. ~ Francois De La Rochefoucauld
Great Qualities quotes by Francois De La Rochefoucauld
It is not enough to have great qualities; We should also have the management of them. ~ Francois De La Rochefoucauld
Great Qualities quotes by Francois De La Rochefoucauld
[Joseph Bucklin Bishop said] "...The peculiarity about him is that he has what is essentially a boy's mind. What he thinks he says at once, says aloud. It is his distinguishing characteristic, and I don't know as he will ever outgrow it. But with it he has great qualities which make him an invaluable public servant--inflexible honesty, absolute fearlessness, and devotion to good government which amounts to religion. We must let him work his way, for nobody can induce him to change it. ~ Edmund Morris
Great Qualities quotes by Edmund Morris
For as much as to understand and to be mighty are great qualities, the higher that they be, they are so much the less to be esteemed if goodness also abound not in the possessor. ~ Philip Sidney
Great Qualities quotes by Philip Sidney
Government is the exercise of all the great qualities of the human mind. ~ Edmund Burke
Great Qualities quotes by Edmund Burke
My message, especially to young people is to have courage to think differently, courage to invent, to travel the unexplored path, courage to discover the impossible and to conquer the problems and succeed. These are great qualities that they must work towards. This is my message to the young people. ~ A. P. J. Abdul Kalam
Great Qualities quotes by A. P. J. Abdul Kalam
I munched a carrot, then broke off a piece of bread and teamed it with another bite of salmon. Every single bit could be a different taste sensation.
It was like men. Each was unique. Most had some great qualities, the majority had a few disappointing ones, and a few were total losers. ~ Susan Fox
Great Qualities quotes by Susan Fox
I think that one of Tim's great qualities and abilities is in what seems like a thumbnail sketch to get something quite telling, very simply, when you're doing it or being in that thumbnail sketch, you don't feel that it's important. ~ Albert Finney
Great Qualities quotes by Albert Finney
As bright examples of great qualities are but too uncommon among Christians, so are they singular and solitary with the Indians; though, for the honor of our common nature, neither are incapable of producing them. Let us then hope that this Mohican may not disappoint our wishes, but prove, what his looks assert him to be, a brave and constant friend.
The last of the Mohicans by: James Fenimore Cooper ~ James Fenimore Cooper
Great Qualities quotes by James Fenimore Cooper
He firmly believed that everything he did was right, that he ought on all occasions to have his own way - and like the sting of a wasp or serpent his hatred rushed out armed and poisonous against anything like opposition. He was proud of his hatred as of everything else. Always to be right, always to trample forward, and never to doubt, are not these the great qualities with which dullness takes the lead in the world? As ~ William Makepeace Thackeray
Great Qualities quotes by William Makepeace Thackeray
The great quality of true art is that it rediscovers, grasps and reveals to us that reality far from where we live, from which we get farther and farther away as the conventional knowledge we substitute for it becomes thicker and more impermeable. ~ Marcel Proust
Great Qualities quotes by Marcel Proust
It was a pity that with his great qualities, his unselfishness and honor, his intelligence and sensibility, he should be so unlovable. ~ W. Somerset Maugham
Great Qualities quotes by W. Somerset Maugham
Anyhow, isn't it a bit wrong to think happiness is all smooth and serene. Isn't it mostly a great energetic struggle - you against the universe - a great whopping opponent, with the referee in its pocket? ~ Margaret Mahy
Great Qualities quotes by Margaret Mahy
For thus the royal mandate ran, When first the human race began, "The social, friendly honest man, Whate'er he be, Tis he fulfils great Nature's plan, And none but he!" ~ Robert Burns
Great Qualities quotes by Robert Burns
Spirit is a land of high white peaks and glittering jewel-like lakes and flowers. Life is sparse and sounds travel great distances. ~ Dalai Lama
Great Qualities quotes by Dalai Lama
The choreographer cannot deliberately make a ballet to appeal to an audience, he has to start from personal inspirations. He has to trust the ballet, to let it stand on its own strengths or fall on its weaknesses. If it reaches the audience, then he is lucky that round! ~ Gerald Arpino
Great Qualities quotes by Gerald Arpino
What matters is not to allow my whole life to be dominated by what is going on inside me. That has to be kept subordinate one way or another. What I mean is: one must not let oneself be completely disabled by just one thing, however bad; don't let it impede the great stream of life that flows through you. I have the feeling of something secret deep inside me that no one knows about. ~ Etty Hillesum
Great Qualities quotes by Etty Hillesum
I think good taste is completely subjective. If you enjoy something, that's great! Enjoy it, and don't let anyone tell you not to. ~ Connor Franta
Great Qualities quotes by Connor Franta
Proceed, great chief, with virtue on thy sideThy every action let the goddess guide. ~ Phillis Wheatley
Great Qualities quotes by Phillis Wheatley
I had literary interests my whole life. I decided at the age of five I was going to be a writer. So I had done a great deal of reading. I suppose I was more at home in Greenwich Village than, say, any of classmates from Warsaw High School. But in any case, it was an overwhelming experience for me. It took me some time to begin to assimilate it. ~ Tom Robbins
Great Qualities quotes by Tom Robbins
Higher than the question of our duration is the question of our deserving. Immortality will come to such as are fit for it, and he would be a great soul in future must be a great soul now. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Great Qualities quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
The great person is ahead of their time, the smart make something out of it, and the blockhead, sets themselves against it. ~ Jean Baudrillard
Great Qualities quotes by Jean Baudrillard
But I will admit, that most of my life has been with the thought of the reaper pacing behind me. I know he's there. He's not freaking me out or anything, but he's reminding me to grab at life with joy. I get a lot of joy from my writing.

And I hope the other writers are too, because it's a great thing to create a world of your own making. We'll beat back the reaper just a little while longer and enjoy the ride in the meantime. ~ Jamie Freveletti
Great Qualities quotes by Jamie Freveletti
I work not only for the gathering and assimilation of knowledge, but also to teach the fact that one can be brilliant without being arrogant, that great intellectual capacity brings great responsibility, that the quest for knowledge should never supplant the joy of learning, that one with great capacities must learn to be tolerant and appreciate those with lesser or different absolutes, ~ H. G. Bissinger
Great Qualities quotes by H. G. Bissinger
Master Ren: "Inquisitrix! Be warned: I am commander Ren Mormorian, apprentice nekomancer to the great and ancient two-faced Zorian of Whiteclaw House! I have raised the ancient dead!
I have fought the wraithmen of the Forsaken Forests! Cross me at your own peril!

You can't blame a cat for trying.

Flee! ~ Marjorie M. Liu
Great Qualities quotes by Marjorie M. Liu
You're tougher than you think, or we wouldn't be such great friends. You need to snap out of it, Will." She snaps her fingers. "You, me - we don't belong here in your head."
"My head?"
"Ask yourself why you'd have me here, besides the fact that I'm awesome. I do what?" Her eyebrow raises.
I search and say the natural response: "Tell it like it is?"
She nods.
Ding ding ding. I'm winning the fair prize if I can just complete the puzzle. ~ Mira Monroe
Great Qualities quotes by Mira Monroe
Was he a good father?"
To their surprise, I shake my head and smile. "No," I reply candidly. "He wasn't a good father, but he was a good man."
Where Dad came from, that meant a great deal more. ~ Deana Martin
Great Qualities quotes by Deana Martin
Adventures come to the adventurous, and mysterious things fall in the way of those who, with wonder and imagination, are on the watch for them; but the majority of people go past the doors that are half ajar, thinking them closed, and fail to notice the faint stirrings of the great curtain that hangs ever in the form of appearances between them and the world of causes behind. ~ Algernon Blackwood
Great Qualities quotes by Algernon Blackwood
We shine like those fires and those stars; we sigh like those waves; we suffer like those great ships, which are worn out in ploughing the waves, in obeying the wind which urges them towards an end, as the breath of God blows us towards a port. Everything likes to live, Raoul; and everything is beautiful in living things. ~ Alexandre Dumas
Great Qualities quotes by Alexandre Dumas
There was an old Taoist who lived in a village in ancient China, named Master Hu. Hu loved God and God loved Hu, and whatever God did was fine with Hu, and whatever Hu did was fine with God. They were friends. They were such good friends that they kidded around. Hu would do stuff to God like call him "The Great Clod." That's how he kidded. That was fine with God. God would turn around and do stuff to Hu like give him warts on his face, wens on his head, arthritis in his hands, a hunch in his back, canker sores in his mouth and gout in his feet. That's how He kidded. That God. What a kidder! But it was fine with Hu.
Master Hu grew lumpy as a toad; he grew crooked as cherry wood; he became a human pretzel. "You Clod!" he'd shout at God, laughing. That was fine with God. He'd send Hu a right leg ten inches shorter than the left to show He was listening. And Hu would laugh some more and walk around in little circles, showing off his short leg, saying to the villagers, "Haha! See how the Great Clod listens! How lumpy and crookedy and ugly He is making me! He makes me laugh and laugh! That's what a Friend is for!" And the people of the village would look at him and wag their heads: sure enough, old Hu looked like an owl's nest; he looked like a swamp; he looked like something the dog rolled in. And he winked at his people and looked up at God and shouted, "Hey Clod! What next?" And splot! Out popped a fresh wart.
The people wagged their heads till their tongues wagged too ~ David James Duncan
Great Qualities quotes by David James Duncan
I claim there ain't Another Saint As great as Valentine. ~ Ogden Nash
Great Qualities quotes by Ogden Nash
Sports is a metaphor for overcoming obstacles and achieving against great odds. Athletes, in times of difficulty, can be important role models. ~ Bill Bradley
Great Qualities quotes by Bill Bradley
[ ... ] Just because a person has a title doesn't make him an aristocrat. Some people are great aristocrats who have no other title than the one that nature has bestowed on them, and others like us, who have nothing but titles, are closer to being pariahs than aristocrats. ~ Osamu Dazai
Great Qualities quotes by Osamu Dazai
Over the years, I have perfected the art of dancing and photographing at the same time: it's a great double act. If you're dancing, you are joining in. If you stand there rigid, you are not in the flow of things. ~ Martin Parr
Great Qualities quotes by Martin Parr
Not many people like it when they get criticism. Of course, if you have someone who does tell you and you do have a rapport, that's great. But don't rely on it. You have to rely on yourself. ~ Itzhak Perlman
Great Qualities quotes by Itzhak Perlman
If you fall into the category of people who want to make a great use of their existence, you need to ask yourself these two questions; "what am I doing now"?; "Where is it taking me to? ~ Israelmore Ayivor
Great Qualities quotes by Israelmore Ayivor
Humanity is a crazy contradiction. I accept us for who we are. We're not that great. Every time we take a step forward we go back to the same primitive behavior. We're meant to be this way. It's not our fault, it's just who we are. ~ Colin Quinn
Great Qualities quotes by Colin Quinn
At that, Marty howled great big, messy sobs, and Elanor, the little lady in the yellow suit, who organized the weddings at the church, came running with a box of tissue.
Oz appeared in the vestibule, looking alarmed. "Is everything all right? I thought someone was strangling a duck."
"Do you mind?" Marty snapped. "Me and the bride, here, we're having a moment. ~ Jenn McKinlay
Great Qualities quotes by Jenn McKinlay
Because it's kind of great, being an idea that everybody likes. But I could never be the idea to myself, not all the way. And Agloe is a place where a paper creation became real. A dot on the map became a real place, more real than the people who created the dot could never have imagined. I thought maybe the paper cutout of a girl could start becoming real here also. And it seemed like a way to tell that paper girl who cared about popularity and clothes and everything else: 'You are going to the paper towns. And you are never coming back. ~ John Green
Great Qualities quotes by John Green
Good mothers and good fathers and good families don't always have great children. ~ Cissy Houston
Great Qualities quotes by Cissy Houston
It is great filming in London. It's difficult, but it looks good. It has its own identity. ~ Sean Bean
Great Qualities quotes by Sean Bean
The time will come when this luscious golden tomato, rich in nutrition, a delight to the eye, a joy to the palate whether fried, baked, broiled or even eaten raw will form the foundation of a great garden industry. ~ Robert Johnson
Great Qualities quotes by Robert Johnson
I was a great many far cries from myself. ~ Gary Lutz
Great Qualities quotes by Gary Lutz
I like the strategy of finding great entrepreneurs early, giving them some money, helping them a little - perhaps not as much as we would a regular core investment. ~ Dan Levitan
Great Qualities quotes by Dan Levitan
Yes, it is as you say. You now behold a detective- a great detective, I may say- in the act of detecting! ~ Agatha Christie
Great Qualities quotes by Agatha Christie
The great triumph (or horrible tragedy, depending on how you look at it) of being human is that our brains have evolved over hundreds of thousands of years to understand our mortality. We are, sadly, self-aware creatures. Even if we move through the day finding creative ways to deny our mortality, no matter how powerful, loved, or special we may feel, we know we are ultimately doomed to death and decay. This is a mental burden shared by precious few other species on Earth. ~ Caitlin Doughty
Great Qualities quotes by Caitlin Doughty
I'm overwhelmed by shame that the people who had the responsibility to take care of the tender ones violated that trust and caused them great pain. ~ Pope Francis
Great Qualities quotes by Pope Francis
Let's put it this way. I question whether 6 million Jews actually died in Nazi death camps. There are two major sources for Holocaust stories. One is the Nuremburg war-crimes trial, which has been shown by all honest historians to be a farce of justice. Another source is the great body of literature and media work, and at least 90% of that material is from biased Jewish sources. ~ David Duke
Great Qualities quotes by David Duke
Some ex-lovers you see from time to time, and it's great to run into them; and some you'd like to run into, but they seem to avoid the stretch of road you're on when you put your foot down... ~ Bronwyn Angela White
Great Qualities quotes by Bronwyn Angela White
He who believes in soul mates never ceases to doubt if his current partner is, truly, "The One." As a result, the great irony emerges: those who believe in soul mates are much less likely to actually find one. ~ Vironika Tugaleva
Great Qualities quotes by Vironika Tugaleva
Great. Relationship advice from one of America's most wanted. ~ Leslea Wahl
