The wise will admire you. The wishful will envy you. The weak will hate you. This is the reality for those who dare to be epic.

About This Quote

This is the reality for those who dare to be epic. This is a quote from author William Faulkner. It's a quote that tells us the truth of what it takes to be a great person. If you choose to be a great person, then some people will not like you.

If you are great, some people will envy you. Some people may even hate you. The key to being a great person is not to care about what others think of you, but rather make sure that your actions are in line with your values and beliefs.

In other words, if someone doesn't like what you're doing, then you're probably doing something wrong and it's time to reevaluate what you're doing and try again.
