“You are no greater than the thoughts you carry,
the knowledge you acquire,
the desires you harbor,
and the experiences you cherish.
You are no better than the friends you keep,
the books you read,
the heroes you admire,
and the obstacles you overcome.
You are no higher than the wisdom you retain,
the understanding you gain,
the faith you practice,
and the love you give.
You are no larger than the powerless you help,
the poor you enrich,
the weak you embolden,
and the fearful you inspire.
You are no bigger than the opponents you face,
the alliances you broker,
the battles you fight,
and the enemies you defeat.”

“There is no priest purer than virtue,
no prophet greater than faith,
no preacher louder than prudence,
no principality higher than goodness,
and no power larger than love.
There is no saint warmer than mercy,
no angel swifter than joy,
no nurse gentler than compassion,
no pleasure sweeter than excitement,
and no breeze cooler than peace.
There is no student brighter than knowledge,
no scholar sharper than intelligence,
no teacher wiser than understanding,
no disciple cleverer than humility,
and no master loftier than wisdom.”
