Andrew Bernstein

A hero has faced it all: he need not be undefeated, but he must be undaunted.

A hero holds purposes appropriate to man and is, therefore, a thinker.

Nothing is given to man on earth - struggle is built into the nature of life, and conflict is possible - the hero is the man who lets no obstacle prevent him from pursuing the values he has chosen.

First, he must hold rational values, and to do this he must be a thinker.
