Said Nursi

When I was ten years old, I had great pride in myself, which sometimes even took the form of boasting and self-praise; although I myself did not want to, I used to assume the air of someone undertaking some great work and mighty act of heroism.

Turkish Theologian

Nathaniel Hawthorne

The greatest obstacle to being heroic is the doubt whether one may not be going to prove one's self a fool; the truest heroism is to resist the doubt; and the profoundest wisdom, to know when it ought to be resisted, and when it be obeyed.

American Novelist

John Rhys-Davies

In the film world, we can all be heroes. In the real world, where heroism can cost you your life or the life of the ones you love, people aren't so willing to make those sacrifices. When they do, they are set apart from the rest of us.

Welsh Actor

Harvey Pekar

American Writer

Thomas Merton

Peace demands the most heroic labor and the most difficult sacrifice. It demands greater heroism than war. It demands greater fidelity to the truth and a much more perfect purity of conscience.

American Author

Henry Ward Beecher

American Clergyman

Johan Huizinga

It is impossible to strive for the heroic life. The title of hero is bestowed by the survivors upon the fallen, who themselves know nothing of heroism.

Dutch Historian

Sajid Khan

I've been an action buff all my life. For me, action is not complete without emotion, and at the same time it's about heroism more than anything else.

Julie Plec

When you have to spread heroism across too many players, you don't get to really dig deep into each of them as much as you'd want to.

American Producer

Vivek Agnihotri

 by promoting the heroic imagination, especially in our kids, in our educational system. We want kids to think, "I'm a hero in waiting, waiting for the right situation to come along, and I will act heroically.
