Heroism is the dazzling and glorious concentration of courage.
"Being positive is part of being a heromaybe the hardest part, because if you are a hero you're smart enough to know all the reasons why you should be discouraged."
"A man is a hero, not because he is braver than anyone else, but because he is brave ten minutes longer."
It doesn't take a hero to order men into battle. It takes a hero to be one of th...
"Heroes are created by popular demand, sometimes out of the scantiest materials, or none at all."

It is the surmounting of difficulties that makes heroes.
SUBWAY SUPERHERO
Just a few years ago, an astonishing thing happened in New York City. A construction worker named Wesley Autrey was standing on a subway platform with his two young daughters waiting on a train. Suddenly another man on the platform, apparently suffering from a seizure, stumbled and fell off the platform down onto the subway tracks.

"There are two little girls up there. Let them know their Daddy is OK."
Immediately, and for good reason, Wesley Autrey became a national hero. People were deeply moved by his selflessness, and they marveled at his bravery. What Wesley had done was a remarkable deed of concern for another person. He had no obvious reason to help this stranger. He didn’t know the man...

We cant all be heroes because someone has to sit on the curb and clap as they go by.
