Great hopes make great men.

A battle lost or won is easily described, understood, and appreciated, but the moral growth of a great nation requires reflection, as well as observation, to appreciate it.

Dreams must be heeded and accepted. For a great many of them come true.

I exhort you also to take part in the great combat, which is the combat of life, and greater than every other earthly conflict.

The great use of life is to spend it for something that will outlast it.
