"Government is not reason, it is not eloquence, it is force; like fire, a troublesome servant and a fearful master. Never for a moment should it be left to irresponsible action" -George Washington
I chose this quote by George Washington because you can see him being a hero by taking charge. This is good because he is comparing it to something understandable and identifying the problem along with the how we could fix it. This quote's significance is that after identifying the problem Washington was going to take action and fix it. I learned from this quote that heroes have to take charge to make an impact.
"I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death" -Patrick Henry
I picked out this very famous quote because it has a clear message of Patrick Henry being a hero. When you read this quote you immediately think that he is crazy, but really I think the significance is that he is a hero because he is standing up for what he believes in and shows people he is serious. From this quote I learned that if you want something changed you have to be willing to face the alternative.
