"A hero is no braver than an..." - Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

“We are always getting ready to live, but never living... The wave moves onward but the particles of which it is composed do not... It cannot be but that at intervals throughout society there are real men intermixed . . . as the carpenter puts one iron bar in his bannister for every five or six wooden ones.”

“A weed is a plant we've found no use for yet.”

“Every man takes care that his neighbor shall not cheat him. But a day comes when he begins to care that he does not cheat his neighbor. Then all goes well. He has changed his market cart into a chariot of the sun.”

“What makes a hero? Courage, strength, morality, withstanding adversity? Are these the traits that truly show and create a hero? Is the light truly the source of darkness or vice versa?

“There are people who can do all fine and heroic things but one - keep from telling their happiness to the unhappy.”

“A hero's love is as delicate as a maiden's.”

“Men are so charmed with valor that they have pleased themselves with being called lions, leopards, eagles and dragons, from the animals contemporary with us in the geologic formations.”

“Afraid? Me? A man who's licked his weight in wild caterpillars?”

“A hero is a man who is afraid to run away.”
