It didn't matter that Charlie Chaplin may not have been a great director or a great anything else. He made great movies.
I have come to believe that a great teacher is a great artist and that there are as few as there are any other great artists. Teaching might even be the greatest of the arts since the medium is the human mind and spirit.

I want to stand on the belief that great things are the product of ordinary people who are made great when they stand.
If God created great things with a point of vulnerability, it would lie in the reality that great things die in the hands of great ignorance.
If you have a great mission statement from a great vision statement then your greatness will surpass your own generation.
When you're alive hope is smiling for a great life. So don't delay, hope for the best, take actions and have a great life.
Human history is full of great men, great women, individuals, with the will for power - all of them with governesses like her.

If you cannot do great things in life, make sure you do the small things in a great way.
I have four kids, seven grandkids, and four great-grandkids. Maybe I can become a great-great-grandfather if I hang on!
