NUMBER:9640
AUTHOR:Henri Frédéric Amiel (1821–1881)
QUOTATION:  Heroism is the brilliant triumph of the soul over the flesh, that is to say over fear: fear of poverty, of suffering, of calumny, of illness, of loneliness and of death. There is no real piety without heroism. Heroism is the dazzling and glorious concentration of courage.
