From Emerson's Essays, by Ralph Waldo Emerson

The characteristics of heroism is its persistency.  All men have
wandering impulses, fits and starts of generosity.  But when you
have chosen your part, abide by it, and do not weakly try to
reconcile yourself with the world.
		-- Ralph Waldo Emerson, "Heroism", p. 137
