I am writing a argumentative essay in my English call and I need a really good quote on heroes. If you know any that are good I would appreciate it. Thanks!

Here's some that i have in my book. Hope they are helpful to you...

"Heroes come in every shape and size,
Makin' special sacrifices for others in their lives:
No one gives them medals,
The world don't know their names,
But in someone's eyes, they're heroes just the saem."
- Paul Overstreet 'Heroes'.

"The ordinary man is involved in action, the hero acts. An immense difference."
- Henry Miller.

"We can't all be heroes because someone has to sit on the curb and clap as they go by."
- Will Rogers.

"And each man stands with his face in the light
Of his own drawn sword,
Ready to do what a hero can."
- Elizabeth Barrett Browning.

This one is similar as well
"A timid person is frightened before a danger, a coward during the time, and a courageous person afterward."
- Jean Paul Richter.

That's all i can find at the moment, but if i find more i'll let you know.
