Australia Quotes
Well, my thoughts about California are kind of mythological. To me, as well as being a real place, it's a place where people go to find something - to find happiness or to realize their dreams. So it has that kind of quality of heroism and heartache, and Australia has that, as well.

Across Quotes
I'm saying to be a hero is means you step across the line and are willing to make a sacrifice, so heroes always are making a sacrifice. Heroes always take a risk. Heroes always deviant.

Above Quotes
The more one looks at this and studies these extraordinary objects, the more one begins to hear the sounds of battle. This is about as close as one can get to that extraordinary moment in world history when the American Revolution was taking place. It was accomplished with heroism and a tremendous amount of bloodshed. And these flags flew above these armies. I've called them the last great relics of the American Revolution in private hands, and no one has disputed that.

Acquired Quotes
A smooth sea never made a skillful mariner, neither do uninterrupted prosperity and success qualify for usefulness and happiness. The storms of adversity, like those of the ocean, rouse the faculties, and excite the invention, prudence, skill, and fortitude of the voyager. The martyrs of ancient times, in bracing their minds to outward calamities, acquired a loftiness of purpose and a moral heroism worth a lifetime of softness and security.
