A hero is no braver than an ordinary man, but he is brave five minutes longer.

Wherever there is power there is age.
A man is a hero, not because he is braver than anyone else, but because he is brave for 10 minutes longer.
Right is more beautiful than private affection, and is compatible with universal wisdom.
