I don't believe in the Great Man theory of science or history. There are no great men, just men standing on the shoulders of other men and what they have done.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
No great man lives in vain. The history of the world is but the biography of great men.
The world's great men have not commonly been great scholars, nor its great scholars great men.
Great men are they who see that spiritual is stronger than any material force - that thoughts rule the world.
All great discoveries are made by men whose feelings run ahead of their thinking.
The man of science, like the man of letters, is too apt to view mankind only in the abstract, selecting in his consideration only a single side of our complex and many-sided being.
No man is so great as mankind.
Man's greatness lies in his power of thought.
Great men, unknown to their generation, have their fame among the great who have preceded them, and all true worldly fame subsides from their high estimate beyond the stars.
No man is truly great who is great only in his lifetime. The test of greatness is the page of history.
Nothing great will ever be achieved without great men, and men are great only if they are determined to be so.
