Yes, I do. I love Cicero.

You have to realize that Cicero was not Christian. What he meant by 'divine inspiration' was different from the way we interpret that phrase today. Christians (and Jews) believe that God made humans 'in his own image' so that they were creative like he is. The Romans' idea of creativity was more like that gods occasionally 'took control' of people and worked them like puppets.
In both cases, 'greatness' in a person has been interpreted as evidence of some intervention by God or a god. And I don't know if I believe that. I think all the things we need for greatness are built into us--creativity, aggression, the need for recognition, etc.etc.

Yes I do. It is what will seperate us from the pack of others going about their daily lives in boredom. This gives us some meaning to our life. Gives us something to live for...

Yep, I do.
However, one of my favorite "greatness" bumper stickers reads: "Well behaved women rarely make history." I believe this also holds true for men.

Yes, and just to clarify further, there is a difference between someone being great, and someone being RICH, ie, there is nothing GREAT about Donald Trump.
