Fire from the heavens

There was a meteor shower early this morning. I was awake late at night, but the light pollution from the city kept me from seeing anything.
I did find this quote though.

“Great men are meteors designed to burn so that earth may be lighted.” ― Napoleon Bonaparte

Do you think earth basks in the glow of great men?

Note: I saw a version of this quote where "men" was changed to "people."  I'm trying to keep with the original translations and not make them politically correct.
