This quote by Pope John Paul II emphasizes that the true value and excellence of one's work are not just defined by external accolades or achievements, but stem from the inner qualities of the individual, such as dedication, passion, and integrity. It suggests that greatness is not merely a result of circumstance, but rather a reflection of a person's inner drive and moral character.

Such an attitude is destructive of freedom and peace.
