“Receiving far less attention are the working class heroes, who go about their solitary work routines with quiet dignity, come home from another grueling day, yet still find time to interact with their children.”

— Armstrong Williams

Leader – Brave. Respected.

It’s hard to be compassionate with selective compassion.

It’s hard to be altruistic with a closed wallet.

It’s hard to be admired without doing admirable things.

It’s hard to show bravery without getting off the couch.

Icon – Compassionate. Admired.

It’ll be hard to be remembered fondly if you weren’t fond of anyone.

Those traits that we respect so greatly in our leaders, our heroes, and our icons?

They don’t come without sacrifice and discipline.

They don’t come without thinking of others.

Unknown  – Perhaps all of the above.
