If you think about the legacy of great men, does it really matter? You know who Newton was and he has busts around museums and academies, but do you really know who the man was? What his voice sounded like, the way he walked, what he liked for dinner, how he treated his neighbors, the relationship he had with his grandfather?

Whereas the legacy of great men is that they set in motion a chain of events that affects the life of many, many people for years and years to come.

Strangely, though, that could just be through the way you raise your children so that they grow up to be great.

It’s hard to measure the overall impact a small thing may have on the world, but there have been plenty of movies made about it.
