Grand Quotations
Three grand essentials to happiness in this life are something to do, something to love, and something to hope for. Joseph Addison War has always been the grand sagacity of every spirit which has grown too inward and too profound; its curative power lies even in the wounds one receives. Friedrich Nietzsche Life is one grand, sweet song, so start the music. Ronald Reagan It is a grand mistake to think of being great without goodness and I pronounce it as certain that there was never a truly great man that was not at the same time truly virtuous. Benjamin Franklin There is a sacred horror about everything grand. It is easy to admire mediocrity and hills; but whatever is too lofty, a genius as well as a mountain, an assembly as well as a masterpiece, seen too near, is appalling. Victor Hugo |
