"Hero-worship in the sense of expressing our unbounded admiration isone thing. To obey the hero is a totally different kind of hero-worship.There is nothing wrong in the former while the latter is no doubt a mostpernicious thing. The former is only man's respect for everything whichis noble and of which the great man is only an embodiment. The latter isthe villain's fealty to his lord. "
