Text Quotes
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 Quotes) The world is always full of brilliant youth which fades into grey and embittered middle age: the first flowering takes everything. The great men are those who have developed slowly, or who have been able to survive the glamour of their early florescence and to go on learning from life  (Great Men Quotes) If you feel proud, let it be in the thought that you are the servant of God, the son of God. Great men have the nature of a child. They are always a child before Him; so they are free from pride. All their strength is of God and not their own. It belongs to Him and comes from Him  (Great Men Quotes) Great men are always exceptional men; and greatness itself is but comparative. Indeed, the range of most men in life is so limited that very few have the opportunity of being great  (Great Men Quotes) Great men are they who see that spiritual is stronger than any material force - that thoughts rule the world  (Great Men Quotes) It is only the great men who are truly obscene. If they had not dared to be obscene, they could never have dared to be great  (Great Men Quotes) Nothing great will ever be achieved without great men, and men are great only if they are determined to be so  (Great Men Quotes) Greatness brings no profit to people. God indeed, when in anger, brings greater ruin to great men's houses  (Great Men Quotes) No particular man is necessary to the state. We may depend on it that, if we provide the country with popular institutions, those institutions will provide it with great men  (Great Men Quotes) The reward of great men is that, long after they have died, one is not quite sure that they are dead  (Great Men Quotes) The friendship between great men is rarely intimate or permanent. It is a Boswell that most appreciates a Johnson. Genius has no brother, no co-mate; the love it inspires is that of a pupil or a son  (Great Men Quotes) The megalomaniac differs from the narcissist by the fact that he wishes to be powerful rather than charming, and seeks to be feared rather than loved. To this type belong many lunatics and most of the great men of history  (Great Men Quotes) 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  (Great Men Quotes) If living conditions don't stop improving in this country, we're going to run out of humble beginnings for our great men  (Great Men Quotes) Heights by great men reached and kept were not obtained by sudden flight but, while their companions slept, they were toiling upward in the night  (Great Men Quotes) Lives of great men all remind us, we can make our lives sublime, and, departing, leave behind us, footprints on the sands of time  (Great Men Quotes) Turns out, far too much has been written about great men and not nearly enough about morons. Doesn't seem right  (Great Men Quotes) Some great men owe most of their greatness to the ability of detecting in those they destine for their tools the exact quality of strength that matters for their work  (Great Men Quotes) An invincible determination can accomplish almost anything and in this lies the great distinction between great men and little men  (Great Men Quotes) Moderation has been called a virtue to limit the ambition of great men, and to console undistinguished people for their want of fortune and their lack of merit  (Great Men Quotes) Even the best intentioned of great men need a few scoundrels around them; there are some things you cannot ask an honest man to do  (Great Men Quotes) Formerly we used to canonise our heroes. The modern method is to vulgarise them. Cheap editions of great books may be delightful, but cheap editions of great men are absolutely detestable  (Great Men Quotes) Mountains never shake hands. Their roots may touch; they may keep together some way up; but at length they part company, and rise into individual, insulated peaks. So is it with great men  (Great Men Quotes) When the judge calls the criminal's name out he stands up, and they are immediately linked by a strange biology that makes them both opposite and complementary. The one cannot exist without the other. Which is the sun and which is the shadow? It's well known some criminals have been great men  (Great Men Quotes) The use of great men is to serve the little men, to take care of the human race, and act as practical interpreters of justice and truth  (Great Men Quotes) Great men, great nations, have not been boasters and buffoons, but perceivers of the terror of life, and have manned themselves to face it  (Great Men Quotes) All great natures delight in stability; all great men find eternity affirmed in the very promise of their faculties  (Great Men Quotes) That nation is proudest and noblest and most exalted which has the greatest number of really great men  (Great Men Quotes) Slow yellow river flowing, willows that gesture in tepid August airs, and four children playing at greatness, as, doubtless, great men themselves must play  (Great Men Quotes) He was always before men’s eyes; a course of action which, by increasing our familiarity with great men, diminishes our respect for them  (Great Men Quotes)
