“Self-trust is the essence of heroism.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Each man is a hero and an oracle to somebody, and to that person whatever he says has an enhanced value.”

“The hero is not fed on sweets, Daily his own heart he eats; Chambers of the great are jails, And head-winds right for royal sails.”
