It is the nature of all greatness not to be exact.

Summary

This quote suggests that true greatness cannot be confined or defined by specific parameters or notions of precision. Greatness embodies an inherent quality of being expansive, transcending boundaries, and defying exactness. It highlights the idea that greatness is characterized by its ability to defy limitations and encompass various perspectives, interpretations, and possibilities. Greatness is not constrained by rigid definitions but rather encompasses a broader, more abstract notion that captures the essence of its magnitude and significance.
