one more from Mark Twain
Keep away from those who try to belittle your ambitions.
Small people always do that, but the really great
make you believe that you too can become great.
I need to add something to this quote also, and that is -- a clarification of what it means to be great. According to Jesus:
Therefore, whoever breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches others to do the same, will be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
-- Matthew 5:19
Whoever becomes humble like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
-- Matthew 18:4
