Our heroes are human heroes. That's a very new situation. Most other societies have had, right at their center, the worship of something transcendent: a god, a spirit, a natural force, the universe, whatever it is -- something else that is being worshiped. We've slightly lost the habit of doing that, which is, I think, why we're particularly drawn to nature.

If you get all the facts, your judgment can be right; if you don't get all the facts, it can't be right.

Success is not final, failure is not fatal: It is the courage to continue that counts.
