greatness [Theme] Page 4

The greatness of an individual is determined not only by its place in history, but also by its significance for the future.

Greatness is never just given. The path to great achievements lies through great losses.

The great Russian philosophers Frank and Vysheslavtsev derived the following formula for the nation: "The unification of people bound together into an indissoluble whole by a common culture, state and economic interests, a historical past and a common aspiration for the future." That is, national unity was not fixed on ethnic, racial or linguistic principles. The main thing is to live for the good of Russia. It is no accident that even then a very precise formulation appeared in the emigration: "The Russian nation is based on the spiritual kinship of all citizens of the country." Ivan Aleksandrovich Ilyin went even further. In one of the articles in the series "Our Tasks", written specifically for the ranks of the Russian All-Military Union, he wrote: “Being Russian means not only speaking Russian. But it means - to perceive Russia with the heart, to see with love its precious originality and its unique originality in the entire universal history, to understand that this originality is a Gift of God given to the Russian people themselves, and at the same time - a command from God that has to protect Russia from the encroachments of other peoples , and demand for this gift - freedom and independence on earth. To be Russian means to contemplate Russia in God's ray, in its eternal fabric, its immortal substance, and to accept it with love as one of the main and cherished shrines of your personal life. To be Russian means to believe in Russia the way all the great Russian people believed in it, all its geniuses and its builders. Only on this faith can we affirm our struggle for it and our victory. It may be that Tyutchev is wrong, that `` you can only believe in Russia, '' because you can say a lot about Russia to reason, and the power of imagination must see its earthly greatness and its spiritual beauty, and the will must be accomplished and approved in Russia much. But faith is also necessary: without faith in Russia, we ourselves cannot live, and we cannot revive it. "

The face of the poet and the body of a warrior. Neither give nor take - a fallen angel.

The greatness of a man equals the love of his woman.
The greatness of a man creates the love of his woman.

The greatness of the emperor in the ability to forgive

There are legends about the beauty of sirens, but royal blood flows in ketones, and this gives a special magnificence. Greatness forged by salt water and royal privileges. Our eyelashes are woven from the ice chips of icebergs, our lips are stained with the blood of sailors. It's even strange that we need a song to steal hearts at all.

Crushing the Greatness of the Soul and Health ...

Great is the one who does not know about it.

Loneliness is a continuation of greatness. Greatness is the continuation of loneliness.

But he had little sympathy for the country's most powerful men and women, whose only merit was that they were born with the right name. He himself was born in the most correct family for greatness, but his main merit was that he turned away from it.

As if the spirit were separated from the body.
