!
To begin with, what is great
ness? It means doing some
thing, producing something. To
be great you must show some
thing to prove greatness.
To select the worlds six
greatest men, first select the
six chief lines Of achievement,
then name the greatest man in
each line. Not being a bar
barian, you exclude war, as
Wells would do.
Make a list of the various
ways in which human greatness
Is expressed. This is one list:
Philosophy. meaning love Of wiS-
dom or knowledge; science, art,
painting and sculpture, writing,
music, and highest Of all, study
Of the universe, to which this
tiny planet, with its so-esllsd
great men," 10 an Insignificant
grain Of sand.
Having listed your kinds Of
greatness, the six greatest men
present themselves automatic
ally.
I. Aristotle, greatest philoso-
pher.
2. Archimedes, greatest seisn-
tifie mind.
8. Michelangelo, greatest in
painting and sculpture.
4. Shakespeare, infinitely the
greatest in writing.
a.NB. Beethovsn, greatest In
music
6. Newton. diseevsrsr sf the
law Of gravitstion, which rulss
the universe; greatest msthe-
smatieal mind ever born on
earth, and = simple child out
side of mathematics. .
Aristotle. Archimedes, Mi
chelangelo, Shakespeare, Bee
thoven, Newton. What name
could you substitute for any In
that list without weakening the
list?
To allow the great and
powerful men Of the earth to
pass in parade before your mind
Is worth while. They come by
threes.\
Three great soldiers, Alexan-
der, Caesar, Napoleon.
Ferrero, a historian, tells you
that Lucullus was q greater
soldier than Caesar, who went
into Gaul merely in imitation
of Lucullus' expedition to Asia,
Wells, another admirable his
torian, tells you that Philip was
a greater soldier than Alexan-
der, his son. The verdict will
always stand that Alexander,
Caesar, and Napoleon were the
three greatest fighters. NoR
will ever be added to their list.
For the world has passed be-
yond including fighters among
the greatest men.
Among religious teachers, the
greatest are, in order Of birth
Buddha, Christ and Mohammed.
Buddha has the great@t
numerical following on. earth
today. Nohaaa,ned was . great
fighter. as we'll a. prophet. He
wound his people up 30 well
that they almost conquered the
world.
Among all religious teachers,
entirely apart from belief in
the supernatural, Christ stands
out, above and beyond all CON-
narison or discussion: Buddha
