Quote by James Cash Penney

Men are not great or small because of their material possessions. They are great or small because of what they are.

Men are not great or small because of their material possess

Summary

This quote suggests that a person's greatness or smallness should not be measured by their material possessions, but rather by their character and qualities. It emphasizes that a person's true value lies in who they are as individuals, their virtues, morals, and actions, rather than the external wealth or possessions they may possess. In other words, it is not the material goods that define a person's worth, but rather their inner qualities and intrinsic worth as human beings.

People try so hard to believe in leaders now, pitifully hard

People try so hard to believe in leaders now, pitifully hard. But we no sooner get a popular reformer or politician or soldier or writer or philosopher --a Roosevelt, a Tolstoy, a Wood, a Shaw, a Nietzsche, than the cross-currents of criticism wash him away. My Lord, no man can stand prominence these days. It's the surest path to obscurity. People get sick of hearing the same name over and over.
