In his inimitably paradoxical style, Chesterton notes that "One of the actual and certain consequences of the idea that all men are equal is immediately to produce very great men. . . . This has been hidden from us of late by a foolish worship of sinister and exceptional men, men without comradeship, or any infectious virtue. This type of Caesar does exist. There is a great man who makes everyone feel small. But the real great man is the man who makes every man feel great."
