"Every hero becomes a bore at last...." - Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

“A hero is no braver than an ordinary man, but he is brave five minutes longer.”

“Rhodora! If the sages ask thee why This charm is wasted on the earth and sky, Tell them, dear, that if eyes were made for seeing, Then Beauty is its own excuse for being.”

“What you persist in doing gets easier. The task hasn't changed, but your ability to do it has increased.”

“Be a hero. Always say, 'I have no fear.' Tell this to everyone - 'Have no fear.'”

“True heroism consists in being superior to the ills of life, in whatever shape they may challenge us to combat.”

“If Sara had been a boy and lived a few centuries ago, her father used to say, 'she would have gone about the country with her sword drawn, rescuing and defending everyone in distress. She always wants to fight when she sees people in trouble.”

“We aim above the mark, to hit the mark. Every act hath some falsehood of exaggeration in it.”

“The deepest hunger in human beings is the desire to be appreciated.”

“Man... knows only when he is satisfied and when he suffers, and only his sufferings and his satisfactions instruct him concerning himself, teach him what to seek and what to avoid. For the rest, man is a confused creature; he knows not whence he comes or whither he goes, he knows little of the world, and above all, he knows little of himself.”
