Heroes & Heroism
Listing(s) |
"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."
|
"Nurture your minds with great thoughts. To believe in the heroic makes heroes."
|
"Without heroes, we're all plain people and don't know how far we can go."
|
"A hero is simply someone who rises above his own human weaknesses, for an hour, a day, a year, to do something stirring. "
|
"The good that Martin Luther King Jr. did remains undiminished ... He was great precisely because, like other heroes, he did not allow human weakness to deter him from doing great works."
|
"Heroes take journeys, confront dragons, and discover the treasure of their true selves."
|
"When the first Superman movie came out I was frequently asked "What is a hero?" …My answer was that a hero is someone who commits a courageous action without considering the consequences… Now my definition is completely different. I think a hero is an ordinary individual who finds strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles."
|
"The hero is known for achievements; the celebrity for well-knowns. The hero reveals the possibilities of human nature. The celebrity reveals the possibilities of the press and media. Celebrities are people who make news, but heroes are people who make history. Time makes heroes but dissolves celebrities."
|
"A true champion is someone who wants to make a difference, who never gives up, and who gives everything she has no matter what the circumstances are. A true champion works hard and never loses sight of her dreams."
|
"I am of certain convinced that the greatest heroes are those who do their duty in the daily grind of domestic affairs whilst the world whirls as a maddening dreidel."
|
"Heroism ... is endurance for one moment more."
|
"The world is moved not only by the mighty shoves of the heroes, but also by the aggregate of the tiny pushes of each honest worker."
|
"The cowards think of what they can lose, the heroes of what they can win."
|
"I believe it is the nature of people to be heroes, given the chance."
|
"What is a minority? The chosen heroes of this earth have been in a minority. There is not a social, political, or religious privilege that you enjoy today that was not bought for you by the blood and tears and patient suffering of the minority. It is the minority that have stood in the van of every moral conflict, and achieved all that is noble in the history of the world. "
|
"When you feel the world is against you or you give up hope, you look at your heroes and say, They were able to do it. They had hard times and a lot of opposition, but they got through it. Then you feel, I can do it too."
|
"Real heroes are men who fall and fail and are flawed, but win out in the end because they've stayed true to their ideals and beliefs and commitments."
|
"We are the hero of our own story."
|
"One must think like a hero to behave like a merely decent human being."
|
"Success is achievable without public recognition, and the world has many unsung heroes. The teacher who inspires you to pursue your education to your ultimate ability is a success. The parents who taught you the noblest human principles are a success. The coach who shows you the importance of teamwork is a success. The spiritual leader who instills in you spiritual values and faith is a success. The relatives, friends, and neighbors with whom you develop a reciprocal relationship of respect and support--they, too, are successes. The most menial workers can properly consider themselves successful if they perform their best and if the product of their work is of service to humanity."
