My heroes are the ones who survived doing it wrong, who made mistakes, and recovered from them.
Heroes choose what they want: being in many places at once, experiencing many possibilities all at once, and then collapsing on the one.
"I am more interested in what I can create than in what I can consume, in what I can share than in what I can own, in living my own life rather than viewing others on tv or the big screen. I think for myself and choose my own heroes. My goal is to be one of them."
We need more everyday heroes. Heroes are ordinary people who take a stand for what is right.
We need more everyday heroes like Sumner Davenport, Brenda Mueller, Cherryl Stewart and others who take a stand for human rights. These heroes act with integrity, look fear in the face, go the distance, stand against oppression and endure the cost of disappointment, betrayal and sometimes, pain.
These everyday heroes experience immeasurable rewards for their journey. We all have the opportunity to be everyday heroes. These women show us it is possible.
The hero is the world-man, in whose heart One passion stands for all, the most indulged.
"Heroes are those who help others unselfishly." Written by: Ruthie Baumann
"We have every right to dream heroic dreams. Those who say we are in a time when there are no heroes, they just don't know where to look."
I've been asked before, "Who are your heroes?" and these types of questions. I always find it hard to identify a single person or a single book or this sort of thing. I've always been forward looking. I was raised with the notion that you can do pretty much anything you want. You're able to accomplish anything you set out to accomplish. I was given a sense of confidence and I never really felt the need to -- or I've never had the benefit, I should probably say -- of being inspired by outside heroes.
There used to be a time when the idea of heroes was important. People grew up sharing those myths and legends and ideals. Now they grow up sharing McDonalds and Disneyland. (New York, 1989)
