The theme of achieving greatness is also the subject of a classic work by
Wallace D Wattles, the author of the Science of Getting Rich.
There is a Principle of Power in every person. By the intelligent use and
direction of this principle, man can develop his own mental faculties.
Man has an inherent power by which he may grow in whatsoever direction he
pleases, and there does not appear to be any limit to the possibilities of his
growth.
No man has yet become so great in any faculty but that it is possible for some
one else to become greater. The possibility is in the Original Substance from
which man is made. Genius is Omniscience flowing into man. - Wallace D Wattles
