There never was a truly great man that was not at the same time truly virtuous.
Franklin, Benjamin

The greatest men of a nation are those it puts to death.
Renan, Ernest

Plato

7.
It is always the adventurers who do great things, not the sovereigns of great empires.
Montesquieu, Charles De

8.
Despite everybody who has been born and has died, the world has just gone on. I mean, look at Napoleon --but we went right on. Look at Harpo Marx --the world went around, it didn't stop for a second. It's sad but true. John Kennedy, right?
Dylan, Bob

Higginson, Thomas Wentworth

A great thing can only be done by a great person; and they do it without effort.
Ruskin, John

I can write good songs. I can sing 'em, and I mean it, Imean it deeply, and I pour everything into that. Other than that, I suck.
Duritz, Adam

16.
I want to be great, something special.
Leonard, Sugar Ray

17.
Great men are true men, the men in whom nature has succeeded. They are not extraordinary -- they are in the true order. It is the other species of men who are not what they ought to be.
Amiel, Henri Frederic

18.
Great men never make bad use of their superiority. They see it and feel it and are not less modest. The more they have, the more they know their own deficiencies.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques

19.
Great men always pay deference to greater.
Landor, Walter Savage

20.
There is a great man who makes every man feel small. But the real great man is the man who makes every man feel great.

All my life I have always known I was born to greatness.
Winfrey, Oprah

22.
The world isn't kept running because it's a paying proposition. (God doesn't make a cent on the deal.) The world goes on because a few men in every generation believe in it utterly, accept it unquestioningly; they underwrite it with their lives.
Miller, Henry

23.
Sighing that Nature formed but one such man, and broke the die.
Byron, Lord

24.
At most, the greatest persons are but great wens, and excrescences; men of wit and delightful conversation, but as morals for ornament, except they be so incorporated into the body of the world that they contribute something to the sustentation of the whole.
Donne, John

25.
He's the greatest man who ever came out of Plymouth, Vermont. [On Calvin Coolidge]
Darrow, Clarence

26.
Traditionally the great men of our country have sprung from poor environments; that being so, it would appear we have long suffered from a severe lack of poverty.
Lieberman, Gerald F.

27.
The superiority of some men is merely local. They are great because their associates are little.
Johnson, Samuel

28.
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.
Taylor, A. J. P.

29.
Neither wealth or greatness render us happy.
La Fontaine, Jean De

30.
The search after the great men is the dream of youth, and the most serious occupation of manhood.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

31.
Great men are like eagles, and build their nest on some lofty solitude.
Schopenhauer, Arthur

32.
A position of eminence makes a great person greater and a small person less.
La Bruyere, Jean De

There is no greatness where there is not simplicity, goodness and truth.
Tolstoy, Count Leo
