About This Quote
The quote by Winston Churchill is about the strength and fortitude of a military leader and his ability to win a war. When a person is willing to sacrifice himself for the greater good of his country, he becomes a hero. But, there are many people who want to be heroes without ever having to do any actual fighting. They would rather sit back and watch as others fight and die so that they can feel like they are doing something heroic. It’s not heroic; it’s pathetic.
