Cowardice or bravery is never racial. You find both in every country. No country has a monolopy on bravery; great deeds of heroism are liable to break out in the most unexpected places.
Will Rogers

Each man is a hero and an oracle to somebody, and to that person whatever he says has an enhanced value.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We can't all be heroes because somebody has to sit on the curb and clap as they go by.
Will Rogers

A hero is no braver than an ordinary man, but he is brave five minutes longer.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
True heroism is remarkably sober, very undramatic. It is not the urge to surpass all others at whatever cost, but the urge to serve others at whatever cost.
Arthur Ashe
You don't have to be a fantastic hero to do certain things - to compete. You can be just an ordinary chap, sufficiently motivated.
Sir Edmund Hillary
Heroes and cowards feel exactly the same fear. Heroes just react to it differently.
Cus D'Amato
Great occasions do not make heroes or cowards; they simply unveil them to the eyes of men. Silently and perceptibly, as we wake or sleep, we grow strong or weak; and last some crisis shows what we have become.
Brooke Westcott
