    Sep 23 2012: The leaders of the past would be powerless without the support of the public, times have changed: people may not rally behind Gandhi anymore so he would be powerless today, but people may rally behind new leaders who fit the times better.

    Sep 14 2012: - Churchill: a mix of great vision and great courage, both on national and international levels. And as a bonus, great quotes.
    - FDR: same reasons than Churchill (minus the quotes)
    - Seneca for his wisdom and humility (a rare quality when you are one the richest and most powerful men of your time)
