Victor Hugo

Smallness in a great man seems smaller by its disproportion with all the rest.

Well, for us, in history where goodness is a rare pearl, he who was good almost takes precedence over he who was great.

Many great actions are committed in small struggles.

Great perils have this beauty, that they bring to light the fraternity of strangers.

Architecture has recorded the great ideas of the human race. Not only every religious symbol, but every human thought has its page in that vast book.

A great artist is a great man in a great child.

Have courage for the great sorrows of life and patience for the small ones and when you have laboriously accomplished your daily task, go to sleep in peace.
