Great heroes need great sorrows and burdens, or half their greatness goes unnoticed. It is all part of the fairy tale.

Dead people can be our heroes because they cant disappoint us later; they only improve over time, as we forget more and more about them.

I am fated to journey hand in hand with my strange heroes and to survey the surging immensity of life, to survey it through the laughter that all can see and through the tears unseen and unknown by anyone.

A lack of common sense usually ends in some heroic feat, much like the soldier who dives onto the grenade so that others may live.

By constant practices, deliberate repetitions and uninterrupted exercises, leaders go from zero to hero. They don't quit.

The world needs heroes. Be a hero and build your part of the world.

Stop grovelling and start working.

Have patience and keep working. Everything will come alright in time.

You are born to build the society, not to follow it.

Throw away the newspapers. Discard all the useless debates and gossiping. Start working in silence. Start working on your passion. And make the news yourself.

You don't die when your body stops functioning. You die when your name is uttered for the last time in the world.

Never mind the mistakes. One day they will become your most prized possessions.

I am exploring the beautiful world.

Why should we honor those that die upon the field of battle? A man may show as reckless a courage in entering into the abyss of himself.

The trouble with superheroes is what to do between phone booths.

A light supper, a good night's sleep and a fine morning have often made a hero out of the same man who, by indigestion, a restless night and a rainy morning would have proved a coward.

The high sentiments always win in the end, the leaders who offer blood, toil, tears and sweat always get more out of their followers than those who offer safety and a good time. When it comes to the pinch, human beings are heroic.

This, to me, is the ultimately heroic trait of ordinary people; they say no to the tyrant and they calmly take the consequences of this resistance.

The difference between a hero and a coward is one step sideways.

Anyone can be heroic from time to time, but a gentleman is something you have to be all the time.
