Excerpt from The Life of John Worth Kern

What constitutes greatness has received as many answers as there have been men to express them. It all depends upon the mental process of a man as to whether his fellow man has attained unto greatness. The paladin of finance would consider it a joke to be told that an Egyptologist was a great man, the doer of deeds can never think of greatness as an attribute to the dreamer of dreams, and thus it is that the esti mate by one man of another will only pass current with those of like mind.
