Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr. Quotes

To Say That There Is A Case For Heroes Is Not To Say That There Is A Case For Hero Worship. The Surrender Of Decision, The Unquestioning Submission To Leadership, The Prostration Of The Average Man Before The Great Man
These Are The Diseases Of Heroism, And They Are Fatal To Human Dignity. History Amply Shows That It Is Possible To Have Heroes Without Turning Them Into Gods. And History Shows, Too, That When A Society, In Flight From Hero Worship, Decides To Do Without Great Men At All, It Gets Into Troubles Of Its Own.
