Grandeur Quotes - page 10

The Greeks understood the mysterious power of the hidden side of things. They bequeathed to us one of the most beautiful words in our language - the word "enthusiasm" - en theos [Εν Θεος] - a god within. The grandeur of human actions is measured by the inspiration from which they spring. Happy is he who bears a god within and obeys it. (Louis Pasteur)

I honestly don't know what I would have become if it weren't for Ursula Le Guin. The first time I read "A Wizard of Earthsea" I realized how balance could be even more epic than war.

I am a Jew, and I am a Rabbi, and I cherish - as do my people - the grandeur of the First Amendment. That amendment prevents, and properly so, the government from investigating the beliefs of any group that calls itself religious; but it does not prevent the government from investigating the activities of any group, whatever its name might be. No man and no group in this country is above the law. Indeed, for 1000 years and more my people have lived with the Hebrew phrase, "נא דמלכותא דינא ." [Dina d'malkhuta dina] - "The law of the land is the law." Unless that law is upheld and enforced, we all of us are victims and we Jews know this very well. View quote

The other three come partly from art, namely the proper construction of figures – these being of course of two kinds, figures of thought and figures of speech – and, over and above these, nobility of language...The fifth cause of grandeur, which gives form to all those already mentioned, is dignified and elegant word-arrangement.
