The true measure of a great man is not by what he takes from life, or what he accumulates in worldly possessions.  The true measure of a great man is by what he gives back to life.  The true measure of a great man is not by the size of his empire but by the size of his estate, the estate that he leaves to the world, a legacy of good works.  To fight with all your heart for those that are of misfortune. To give power to the powerless, to give hope to the hopeless, to seek to lift up those beneath you and call them brother.  These are the measure of a great man.  God rest your soul my brother
