"Is it better to be great or to be good?" Quentin Driscoll asked quietly, with a sad smile.
I had wanted to sound noble. Instead I felt foolish. "It's best to be both," I answered, hoping to make up for what I had said before, "but if a man can only be one, prehaps it would be better for him to be good and not great instead of great and not good."

Good question. I'd also say I'd rather be good than great. Gives me room to accomplish something.
