"The less people speak of their greatness, the more we think of it" — Francis Bacon

I must have a prodigious quantity of mind; it takes me as much as a week sometimes to make it up

Willpower is to the mind like a strong blind man who carries on his shoulders a lame man who can see

Small minds are concerned with the extraordinary, great minds with the ordinary

The mind is not a vessel to be filled but a fire to be kindled

Nine-tenths of wisdom is being wise in time

Everyone is a genius at least once a year. The real geniuses simply have their bright ideas closer together
