Calculation never made a hero.

What is a society without a heroic dimension?

Every hero becomes a bore at last.

Unhappy the land that is in need of heroes.

A boy doesn't have to go to war to be a hero; he can say he doesn't like pie when he sees there isn't enough to go around.

Heroism on command, senseless violence, and all the loathsome nonsense that goes by the name of patriotism -how passionately I hate them!
