No great man lives in vain. The history of the world is but the biography of great men.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Nothing great will ever be achieved without great men, and men are great only if they are determined to be so.
No man was ever great by imitation.
The world's great men have not commonly been great scholars, nor its great scholars great men.
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.

A great man is different from an eminent one in that he is ready to be the servant of the society.
No man is so great as mankind.
A great man is made up of qualities that meet or make great occasions.
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.
