1. The estimate of greatness varies from sphere to sphere. To be great is to be Godlike. And since the quality of greatness is wholly determined by the content of goodness, it follows that, even in your present human estate, if you can through '''grace''' become good, you are thereby becoming great.[http://mercy.urantia.org/cgi-bin/webglimpse/mfs/usr/local/www/data/papers?link=http://mercy.urantia.org/papers/paper28.html&file=/usr/local/www/data/papers/paper28.html&line=159#mfs]

2. The perfection of the creatures of [[time]], when finally achieved, is wholly an acquirement, a bona fide [[personality]] possession. While the elements of '''grace''' are freely admixed, nevertheless, the creature attainments are the result of [[individual]] effort and actual living, personality reaction to the existing environment.[http://mercy.urantia.org/cgi-bin/webglimpse/mfs/usr/local/www/data/papers?link=http://mercy.urantia.org/papers/paper32.html&file=/usr/local/www/data/papers/paper32.html&line=99#mfs]

3. [[Goodness]] always compels respect, but when it is devoid of '''grace''', it often repels [[affection]]. Goodness is [[universal]]ly attractive only when it is gracious. Goodness is effective only when it is attractive.[http://mercy.urantia.org/cgi-bin/webglimpse/mfs/usr/local/www/data/papers?link=http://mercy.urantia.org/papers/paper171.html&file=/usr/local/www/data/papers/paper171.html&line=118#mfs]
