“One would like to be grand and heroic, if one could; but if not, why try at all? One wants to be very something, very great, very heroic; or if not that, then at least very stylish and very fashionable. It is this everlasting mediocrity that bores me.”
Harriet Beecher Stowe

Leonard Warren
“We are ready for the fourth quarter. Reaching pro forma profit does not require heroics, just execution,”
Warren Jenson
“The Ghost Rider's not particularly heroic in this story; he has his own agenda and won't let anything get in his way.”
Garth Ennis
“I have often been gratefully aware of the heroic efforts of my opponent not to laugh at me.”
Bernard Darwin
“An Eagle Scout deserves a letter of congratulations, but not a proclamation, ... That's a normal process. It's not a heroic process.”
