Fickle Indeed - greatness is overrated

A man is not great solely by
what he does, he is great
by how he is
perceived.

It is not his wild feats that
make him adored, it is
not even what he has
achieved.

For a man to be great he must
have a following, this can
be so very fickle
indeed,

Greatness does not come from
a man's earnings, it is the
slobbering of those following
who themselves can't
succeed.
