Great men are usually the products of their times and one of the men developed by these times takes rank with the greatest railroad leaders in history.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
In my opinion, most of the great men of the past were only there for the beer - the wealth, prestige and grandeur that went with the power.
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.
Nothing great will ever be achieved without great men, and men are great only if they are determined to be so.
There are two types of men: the great and the small.
The great leaders are like the best conductors - they reach beyond the notes to reach the magic in the players.
By a great man, however, we mean a man who, because of his spiritual gifts, his character, and other qualities, deserves to be called great and who as a result earns the power to influence others.
A great man is made up of qualities that meet or make great occasions.
Average leaders inspire people to punch a time clock. Great leaders inspire industry and passion.
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.
No man is truly great who is great only in his lifetime. The test of greatness is the page of history.
