Hard for me to say. Let say Plato, Jesus and Julius Caesar. Mention yours, good and bad.

I admire many historical figures. My favorites though are Julius Caesar and Theodore Roosevelt.
Theodore Roosevelt was once shot during a speech, and after the man who had shot him was arrested, he finished the speech before going to the hospital. Roosevelt grew up a sickly child in New York, and he was determined to overcome his illnesses. He also had extremely bad eyesight, but he overcame this and was a skilled marksman. When Roosevelt was a Rough Rider he carried several pairs of glasses which he often lost. He set up many national parks and also was the first president to be a "Trust Buster".
Julius Caesar was an expert general, an exceptional orator, and a excellent statesman. Once he and a Roman legion built a bridge over a river in Germany ( I once knew the name of it, but i cannot remember it any more), a project that would have taken modern engineers and workers several months if not a year or two, it took Caesar and his legion around 5 weeks to build this bridge.

There are sooo many. Jesus is an obvious #1, but a few misguided souls who acted on a strongly held belief come to mind -- like Alexander the Great (ruler of the known world by age 16) and Napoleon. But I think I'm going to go with Gandhi, Picasso, and Henry Ford. (But I could just as easily have mentioned Confucius, Shakespeare, and Harry Truman!)

Gandhi. Peace and non-violence to get what you want is a radical idea, and even though King used it in America, Gandhi started it so I choose him.
