"Nathaniel Foote, belongs, not to that class of men who fill a large place in the world's history because called by some great emergency into positions of power and influence,--but to that more meritorious class of pious and excellent persons, who walk meekly along the paths of common life, perform every duty, public or private, love and help their fellowmen, and act always as if in their great Task Master's eye. It is to such men that society owes at once its peace, stability and progress,--yet history takes no note of such, and hence, 'The world knows nothing of its greatest men.'"--Nathaniel Goodwin in the Foote Genealogy.
