Being Of Great Does Not Make You Great

"If your decent is from heroic sires, show in your life a remnant of their fires."

Nicolas Boileau-Despreauex

Late 17th/early 18th century French poet

So many companies claim their past glory without exhibiting the qualities that made their "sires" what they were.

You can't continually be rewarded for what others did in the past.
