Hero Quotations
A hero is no braver than an ordinary man, but he is brave five minutes longer. Ralph Waldo Emerson A hero is born among a hundred, a wise man is found among a thousand, but an accomplished one might not be found even among a hundred thousand men. Plato Though nature be ever so generous, yet can she not make a hero alone. Fortune must contribute her part too; and till both concur, the work cannot be perfected. Francois de La Rochefoucauld Every hero becomes a bore at last. Ralph Waldo Emerson A hero is someone who understands the responsibility that comes with his freedom. Bob Dylan |
