"No truly great person ever thought themselves so."
William Hazlitt (1778-1830) British essayist
Taken literally, few, if any, could ever be great.
It's human nature for our egos to occasionally to frequently stop to admire what a great person it thinks we are.
But once more the problem is not with the basic idea but rather the all inclusiveness of it.
You can recognize your greatness, just not to the point that you expect/assume others will as well.
