When Heaven is about to confer a great responsibility on any man, it will first exercise his mind with suffering, subject his sinews and bones to hard work, expose his body to hunger, and confound his undertakings. In this way, it stimulates his mind, hardens his nature, and makes up for his deficiencies.

—— Mencius

Is Lincoln a great man?

No, Lincoln is not a great man.

Lincoln is a Saint.
