Summary

This quote suggests that great men do not exist in isolation, but rather they are part of a larger collective or community. They are not just exceptional individuals, but the culmination of the efforts and contributions of many others. It emphasizes that greatness is often built upon the support, influence, and collaboration of others, highlighting the interconnectedness of human achievements. Just as mountain peaks are part of a larger mountain range, great men stand out and achieve greatness because of the foundations laid by those who came before them and the contributions of those around them.
