Heroes
“I believe there's a hero in all of us that keeps us honest, gives us strength, makes us noble, and finally allows us to die with pride, even though sometimes we have to be steady and give up the thing we want the most. Even our dreams.”
“History is written by those who have hanged heroes.”
“We're all heroes if you catch us at the right moment.”
“Little by little the look of the country changes because of the men we admire.”
“We're always quickest to doubt people who have a reputation for being honest.”
“Life ain’t no damn football game. Life ain’t just a bunch of high spots. Heroes in the real world live twenty-four hours a day not just two hours in a game.”
“Let me tell you about heroes. I’ve covered a lot of them and I’m saying Gehrig is the best. No front page scandals, no daffy excitement, no hornpiping in the spotlight. He’s a guy who does his job and nothing else.”
