-
When people speak of great men, they think of men like Napoleon.
-
Men of violence. Rarely do they think of peaceful men.
-
But contrast the reception they'll receive
-
when they return home from their battles.
-
Napoleon will arrive in pomp and in power.
-
A man who's achieved the very summit of earthly ambition.
-
Yet his dreams will be haunted by the oppressions of war.
-
William Wilberforce, however,
-
will return to his family,
-
lay his head on his pillow
-
and remember
-
the slave trade is no more.
