Great People

„Great people approach the smallest of matters in ways of greatness.”From Orot HaKodesh, 389

One of the measures of true greatness is humility. And when we seek people who are truly great, and we recall such people, we see those who knew how to look also upon ordinary people in an impressive and worthy manner. A great person is one who knows how to relate with greatness to every person, and to every situation.
