The Importance of Individuals - *

"A nation's great men are but slight deviations from the general level. The hero is merely a special complex of the ordinary qualities of his race."
-- Donald Trump, Mother Teresa, Michael Jordan, Stephen Hawking

"What each man adds is but an infinitesimal fraction compared with what he derives from his parents or earlier ancestry."
A dwarf standing a giant's shoulders sees the farther of the two. Today's giants may have been yesterday's dwarves.

"There is very little difference between one man and another; but what little there is, is very important."

Among all the differences that exist, the only ones that interest us are the ones we don't take for granted.
