The lives of great people

How great people lived are all impressive and interesting. They tell us how to live and how to think, which neither parents nor teachers can teach. If you got something in your heart from the biographies of great people when you were young, the way you live as an adult would be different.


偉人の生涯は感動的で面白い。親や教師が教えることも模範を示すこともできないような、人間の素晴らしい生き方、ものの考え方を伝えてくれる。幼少のころに偉人伝から得た感動や教訓が幾分なりとも残存していれば、大人の世界も少しは変わってくるはずだ。

HThe stories of how great people lived are all impressive and interesting.

For "how", you would need to use the singular "is" instead of "are" — but if you say "is", then you can't say "all", because "is" is singular and "all" is plural. If you add "stories", though, then it becomes plural and you can keep the rest of your sentence :)

Although "keep" sounds a little more natural, it's still an unusual expression — maybe you can say "inspired by" instead! Either way, your meaning is still clear :))
