“This is another blow. But we're actually walking a little taller because of the heroism at some of our hospitals.”
Harry Anderson
“Heroism feels and never reasons and is therefore always right.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
“The characteristic of genuine heroism is its persistency. All men have wandering impulses, fits and starts of generosity. But when you have resolved to be great, abide by yourself, and do not weakly try to reconcile yourself with the world. The heroic cannot be the common, nor the common the heroic.”
“True heroism consists in being superior to the ills of life, in whatever shape they may challenge us to combat.”
Napoleon Bonaparte
“True heroism is remarkably sober, very undramatic. It is not the urge to surpass all others at whatever cost, but the urge to serve others at whatever cost.”
Arthur Ashe
“A hero is an ordinary individual who finds the strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles.”
Christopher Reeve
“The legacy of heroes is the memory of a great name and the inheritance of a great example.”
Benjamin Disraeli
