Human greatness does not lie in wealth or power, but in character and goodness. People are just people, and all people have faults and shortcomings, but all of us are born with a basic goodness.

Anne Frank

wealth does not bring goodness, but goodness brings wealth and every other blessing, both to the individual and to the state

Socrates

Greatness is not found in possessions, power, position, or prestige. It is discovered in goodness, humility, service, and character.

William Arthur Ward

Goodness does not consist in greatness, but greatness in goodness.

Athenaeus

There is goodness as well as greatness in simplicity, not in wealth.

Mahatma Gandhi

Your economic security does not lie in your job; it lies in your own power to produce - to think, to learn, to create, to adapt. That's true financial independence. It's not having wealth; it's having the power to produce wealth.

Stephen Covey

Most people define greatness through wealth and popularity and position in the corner office. But what I call everyday greatness comes from character and contribution.

Stephen Covey

Goodness makes greatness truly valuable, and greatness make goodness much more serviceable.

Matthew Henry

A good character today is shaped by greatness, greatness in vision, greatness in courage, greatness in insight, greatness in purpose and devotion.

A. Powell Davies

You must never forget that greatness does not guarantee happiness but goodness always does

Sri Chinmoy

For centuries the church has confronted the human community with role models of greatness. We call them saints when what we really often mean to say is 'icon,' 'star,' 'hero,' ones so possessed by an internal vision of divine goodness that they give us a glimpse of the face of God in the center of the human. They give us a taste of the possibilities of greatness in ourselves.

Joan D. Chittister

Goodness makes greatness truly valuable, and greatness makes goodness much more serviceable.

Matthew Henry

True greatness is not measured by the headlines a person commands or the wealth he or she accumulates. The inner character of a person-the undergirding moral and spiritual values and commitments-is the true measure of lasting greatness.

Billy Graham

America's greatness rests on far more than the power of our arms. Our greatness is also measured by our goodness, it's in the capacity of our minds, of our hearts, and it's in the strength of our democracy.

Howard Dean

When people lose faith in the natural goodness of the human character, the lack of trust in spiritual goodness, that is one reason why corruption has become so widespread today.

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

Now the goodness that we have to consider is clearly human goodness, since the good or happiness which we set out to seek was human good and human happiness. But human goodness means in our view excellence of soul, not excellence of body.

Aristotle
