Heroes:

PATTON! "Always do more than is required of you."
T.R.! "It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again...who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly."
NINO SCALIA! "If you think aficionados of a living Constitution want to bring you flexibility, think again. You think the death penalty is a good idea? Persuade your fellow citizens to adopt it. You want a right to abortion? Persuade your fellow citizens and enact it. That's flexibility."
ADMIRAL ACKBAR! "It's a Trap!"
INDIANA JONES! "Don't call me junior!"
ASHE! "This is my BOOMSTICK!"
VULTAN! "Hawkmen! DIIIIIIVE!"
And the greatest American hero of them all:
