“A hero is no braver than an ordinary man, but he is brave five minutes longer.”

“A great man quotes bravely, and will not draw on his invention when his memory serves him with a word just as good.”

“The youth, intoxicated with his admiration of a hero, fails to see, that it is only a projection of his own soul, which he admires.”

“Treat a man as he is, and he will remain as he is. Treat a man as he could be, and he will become what he should be.”

“Every hero becomes a bore at last.”

“Be yourself; no base imitator of another, but your best self. There is something which you can do better than another. Listen to the inward voice and bravely obey that. Do the things at which you are great, not what you were never made for.”

“Peace has its victories but it takes brave men to win them”
