About This Quote

Great persons, like great empires, leave their mark on history. The great ones leave their mark on the world naturally because they were great in every single aspect of life. When you think of a great person or a great empire, there is always something that sticks out and that is what makes them great. That is why they will be remembered forever and it will be easy to tell who was really great at what they did.
