Heros Quotes

In the face of pain there are no heroes. ~ Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell History, like love, is so apt to surround her heroes with an atmosphere of imaginary brightness. ~ The Last of the Mohicans by James Fenimore Cooper It is better to arm and strengthen your hero, than to disarm and enfeeble the foe. ~ The Tenant of Wildfell Hall by Anne Bronte Routine is death to heroism. ~ The Man Upstairs by P. G. Wodehouse "There are quiet victories and struggles, great sacrifices of self, and noble acts of heroism, in it - even in many of its apparent lightnesses and contradictions - not the less difficult to achieve, because they have no earthly chronicle or audience - done every day in nooks and corners, and in little households, and in men's and women's hearts - any one of which might reconcile the sternest man to such a world, and fill him with belief and hope in it." ~ The Battle of Life by Charles Dickens The knowledge of your helplessness in any circumstances is so perfect that it begets a sense of irresponsibility, almost of security; and as you drowse upon the pallet of the sleeping car, and feel yourself hurled forward through the obscurity, you are almost thankful that you can do nothing, for it is upon this condition only that you can endure it; and some such condition as this, I suppose, accounts for many heroic facts in the world. ~ Their Wedding Journey by William Dean Howells "Nurture your mind with great thoughts. To believe in the heroic makes heroes." ~ Coningsby by Benjamin Disraeli "It's all very well to read about sorrows and imagine yourself living through them heroically, but it's not so nice when you really come to have them, is it?" ~ Anne of Green Gables by Lucy Maud Montgomery "Whether I shall turn out to be the hero of my own life, or whether that station will be held by anybody else, these pages must show." ~ David Copperfield by Charles Dickens "My daughter, there are times of moral danger when the hardest virtuous resolution to form is flight, and when the most heroic bravery is flight." ~ Our Mutual Friend by Charles Dickens
