I think the author means that one person out out of one thousand is boring because he is only one person.
He is also interesting because he is one man who is different from all 999 others

I think the speaker meant that Harold Nicolson took alot of chances and that made him exciting, but most people are to scared to take chances and that makes them a bore.

this probably means one person out of a 1000 is nice and kind until it break,i really think this means only one person is really nice and kind out of 1000and continues to keep his cool and be calm.- Carlyanne Valcin and thats what i thought the speaker was trying to say.

I think the quote is saying that the man has the power and strength of one thousand people all in one. Personally I think the quote is basically saying he has the power of many men combined.

I think that the speaker meant to say that sometimes between a lot of others you can be really special and that it could be really interesting and you should be proud.
For me this means that no matter where you are and what they say about you, you have always something that makes you feel more important than them. For example if someone is giving you a hard time because of your look you can feel proud of yourself because they are paying attention to you it is like you have fans. And nobody can make you feel bad of yourself without your consent.

I think that the person is trying to say that if you are like other people , like in a crowd of gray for example , then you have no unique qualities that makes you interesting because everyone is the same , and if there is one red person in that crowd of gray then that makes you interesting and unique in your own way.

I think that this quote means that your special because you are your own person and your not like everyone else.

I think the speaker meant that only one person can do something to change something, or invent something. This one person can be a unique type from everyone else.You can become special in many ways; just by the power of one person can do something big.

I think this qoute means that since the man is only one bore person in a thousand but because he is that one person who is a bore he is interesting. This qoute means that you can be different and interesting at the same time to me personally. - Elan Mcginty 271
