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, and social reformer
(1819-1900)
