True Greatness

A man is as great as the dreams he dreams,

      As great as the love he bears;

As great as the values he redeems,

     And the happiness he shares.

A man is as great as the thoughts he thinks,

     As the worth he has attained;

As the fountains at which his spirit drinks,

     And the insight he has gained.

A man is as great as the truth he speaks,

     As great as the help he gives,

As great as the destiny he seeks,

    As great as the life he lives.
