I believe that the first test of a truly great man is his humility. I do not mean by humility, doubt of his own powers. But really great men have a curious feeling that the greatness is not in them, but through them. And they see something divine in every other man and are endlessly, foolishly, incredibly merciful.
John Ruskin, author, art critic, social reformer, and polymath (1819-1900)
In the 21st Century, this 19th Century observation applies to all humanity.
