“A great man shows his greatness by the way he treats little me”

“History of the world is the biography of the great man. And I said: The great man always act like a thunder. He storms the skies, while others are waiting to be stormed.”

“Great men taken up in any way are profitable company. We cannot look, however imperfectly, upon a great man without gaining something by him.”

“Man’s unhappiness, as I construe, comes of his greatness; it is because there is an Infinite in him, which with all his cunning he cannot quite bury under the Finite.”

“Show me the man you honor, and I will know what kind of man you are”

“There needs not a great soul to make a hero; there needs a god-created soul which will be true to its origin; that will be a great soul!”

“The history of the world is but a biography of great men.”
