"Never let yourself be persuaded that any one Great Man, any one leader, is necessary to the salvation of America."
Simplified meaning
It's important not to believe that one single person or leader is the key to a country's success or survival. Think about a sports team—if everyone thinks that the star player is the only one who can win the game, they might stop trying their best, which can hurt the team. In the same way, a country needs the efforts and ideas of many people working together. Even great leaders make mistakes, and relying too much on one person can be risky. Everyone has a role to play in making a country strong and successful. So, instead of waiting for one person to fix everything, everyone should think about how they can contribute.
