No man is truly great who is great only in his lifetime. The test of greatness is the page of history.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
No great man lives in vain. The history of the world is but the biography of great men.
No man ever became great or good except through many and great mistakes.
No man is so great as mankind.
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.
I believe the first test of a truly great man is in his humility.
A great man is made up of qualities that meet or make great occasions.
The only greatness for man is immortality.
The first test of a truly great man is his humility. By humility I don't mean doubt of his powers or hesitation in speaking his opinion, but merely an understanding of the relationship of what he can say and what he can do.
Man's greatness lies in his power of thought.
Nothing great will ever be achieved without great men, and men are great only if they are determined to be so.
