A hero can be afraid, but a hero never runs away.

About This Quote

A hero can be afraid, but a hero never runs away. People who are afraid tend to run away from their fears. That’s not what a hero does. A hero is someone who doesn’t run away from problems and challenges.

When faced with something they know they cannot win, a true hero will try their best to overcome those challenges and become stronger for it. A hero always fights and never gives up, even when the odds are stacked against them.
