2. While a personality could be famous for various reasons, the
fame is only a milestone testimonial of his/ her achievements. It
does not really say something about his/ her character.
For the look in to the inner thought circle of the personality,
you need to read between the lines of the sayings and quotes
used by them. Even if the statements are not original, they still
show the thought process going on inside them. In a sense,
beautiful quotes are the true reflection of the personality’s inner
thought circle as they reveal their character.
How a quote could help in understanding
It is quite easy to understand the philosophy through an
example rather than going through lengthy discussions.

3. When you look at such Zitate und Sprüche (quotations
and proverbs) , it becomes easily understandable that it was
not in his character to break down on account of failures; he
would rather move ahead and start afresh. So even if he
faced failures, he had the metal in him to come through it
and start again with enthusiasm. That had to be one of his
key strengths of character.
The true testimonial
It is therefore only fair to say that great people left enough
saying and quotes for you to look in to and understand their
philosophy of life. It is out there; you just need to look for
it.
