If a man can bridge the gap between life and death, if he can live on after he's dead, then maybe he was a great man.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
A man must be willing to die for justice. Death is an inescapable reality and men die daily, but good deeds live forever.
The only greatness for man is immortality.
That's all a man can hope for during his lifetime - to set an example - and when he is dead, to be an inspiration for history.
A great man is one who leaves others at a loss after he is gone.
No great man lives in vain. The history of the world is but the biography of great men.
I hope it is true that a man can die and yet not only live in others but give them life, and not only life, but that great consciousness of life.
There never was a truly great man that was not at the same time truly virtuous.
Lives of great men all remind us, we can make our lives sublime, and, departing, leave behind us, footprints on the sands of time.
It is true greatness to have in one the frailty of a man and the security of a god.
No man is truly great who is great only in his lifetime. The test of greatness is the page of history.
