Quarrels often arise in marriages when the bridal gifts are excessive.

Antisthenes

Familiarity with any great thing removes our awe of it. The great general is only terrible to the enemy; the great poet is frequently scolded by his wife; the children of the great statesman clamber about his knees with perfect trust and impunity; the great actor who is called before the curtain by admiring audiences is often waylaid at the stage door by his creditors.

L. Frank Baum

Like it or not - and often we don't - power is a pervasive phenomenon. From midnight decisions in the Oval Office that risk the lives of young Americans to quarrels over the kitchen table, power is part of every human equation. Yes, it can be - and often is - abused, in business as in all arenas of endeavor. But it can also be used to do great good for great numbers. And as a career-building tool, the slow and steady (and subtle) amassing of power is the surest road to success.

Great men too make mistakes, and many among them do it so often that one is almost tempted to call them little men.

Georg C. Lichtenberg

Great spirits often meet violent oppisition with mediocre minds.

Albert Einstein

Although men flatter themselves with their great actions, they are not so often the result of a great design as of chance.

Francois Truffaut

I've also seen that great men are often lonely. This is understandable, because they have built such high standards for themselves that they often feel alone. But that same loneliness is part of their ability to create.

Yousuf Karsh

Psychoanalytic investigation has shown that in mental patients excessive affection often turns to violent hostility.

Karl Abraham

Too often we forget that the great men of faith reached the heights they did only by going through the depths.

Os Guinness

To be great in our times too often means to have great prosperity and no moral magnanimity at all.

Cornel West

Winnipeg has the largest collection of Inuit art in the world, I believe. They can be quite simple in a great way and often have sparse backgrounds and isolated characters. They often have a really great look to them.
