“Resist much, obey little.”

“Every society needs heroes. And every society has them. The reason we don’t often see them is because we don’t bother to look.
There are two kinds of heroes. Heroes who shine in the face of great adversity, who perform an amazing feat in a difficult situation. And heroes who live among us, who do their work unceremoniously, unnoticed by many of us, but who make a difference in the lives of others.
Heroes are selfless people who perform extraordinary acts. The mark of heroes is not necessarily the result of their action, but what they are willing to do for others and for their chosen cause. Even if they fail, their determination lives on for others to follow. The glory lies not in the achievement, but in the sacrifice.”
― Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono
“That’s what it takes to be a hero, a little gem of innocence inside you that makes you want to believe that there still exists a right and wrong, that decency will somehow triumph in the end.”

“A hero cannot be a hero unless in a heroic world.”
― Nathaniel Hawthorne
“The whole earth is the tomb of heroic men and their story is not given only on stone over their clay but abides everywhere without visible symbol woven into the stuff of other mens lives.”

“There are only three types of citizenship: hero, villain, nobody.”
― Toba Beta
“Battles are lost in the same spirit in which they are won.”

Doing the right thing, even in the face of adverse popular sentiment; is definitely the hallmark of a hero.
