Famous Beards Throughout History

What make a man great? Men throughout history have been revered for their Leadership qualities. The greatest leaders among them were denoted with traits imbued with Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Selflessness, Honor, Integrity, Personal Courage (LDRSHIP). They were the personification of notoriety, expression, refinement, vision, and equality (NERVE). Most importantly, a vast majority had beards. Now I am not saying to be great you need to have a beard. However, great leaders, and ones who I have always revered had some nerve. I consistently remark how beards imbue qualities of dominance, assertion, and resolve. Now, I am going to prove to you, through history that beards have power. From Otto the Great, to Abraham Lincoln, and then to Karl Marx, these men definitely personified Leadership and nerve.

He is most well-known for his determination, persistence, beliefs and courage. He is most notorious for h style of beard. Abraham Lincoln was a man who ushered domestic prosperity, international relations, and preservation of the Union.

Karl Marx

Karl Marx is most known for being the Father of Modern Communism, among other exploits that looked great in theory, yet failed in execution. Karl, was considered by many as greatest Social, Political, and Economic Philosopher of all time. Another great thing Marx jointly accomplished for was to create the international workingmen's association.
