Celebrity-worship and hero worship should not be confused. Yet we confuse them every day, and by doing so we come dangerously close to depriving ourselves of all real models. We lose sight of the men and women who do not simply seem great because they are famous, but famous because they are great.
I do not like heroes; they make too much noise in the world. The more radiant their glory, the more odious they are.
What excites and interests the looker-on at life, what the romances and the statues celebrate, and the grim civic monuments remind us of, is the everlasting battle of the powers of light with those of darkness; with heroism reduced to its bare chance, yet ever and anon snatching victory from the jaws of death.
Heroism, the Caucasian mountaineers say, is endurance for one moment more.
Each man is a hero and an oracle to somebody.
The ordinary man is involved in action, the hero acts. An immense difference.
A hero is a man who would argue with the gods, and so awakens devils to contest his vision. The more a man can achieve, the more he may be certain that the devil will inhabit a part of his creation.
Every man has a coward and hero in his soul.
A hero is born among a hundred, A wise man is found among a thousand, But an accomplished one might not be found Even among a hundred thousand men.
No man is a hero to his valet. This is not because the hero is no hero, but because the valet is a valet.
