"Great men -- are the greatest of God's earthly things. They are peculiar riches first of their own land; then of the age in which they lived; lastly of the race. It is well then, that their lives be cherished and their noble deeds be recorded in the alcoves of the library, by inscription for the public eye, in monumental bronz and enduring granite...." From Maynard's speech at the unveiling of a statute of Admiral Farragut in Washington April 25, 1881.
