He was a degenerate gambler. That is, a man who gambled simply to gamble and must lose. As a hero who goes to war must die. Show me a gambler and I'll show you a loser, show me a hero and I'll show you a corpse.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The political hero is not like the sports champion or matinee idol or daring inventor; like the war hero, he is born only of tragedy.
A hero is a man who does what he can.
It takes a hero to be one of those men who goes into battle.
The real hero is always a hero by mistake; he dreams of being an honest coward like everybody else.
Man becomes his most creative during war.
A hero can only be as good as the bad guy.
A boy doesn't have to go to war to be a hero; he can say he doesn't like pie when he sees there isn't enough to go around.
He was a great patriot, a humanitarian, a loyal friend; provided, of course, he really is dead.
A man who was completely innocent, offered himself as a sacrifice for the good of others, including his enemies, and became the ransom of the world. It was a perfect act.
A prisoner of war is a man who tries to kill you and fails, and then asks you not to kill him.
