Nobody, they say, is a hero to his valet. Of course; for a man must be a hero to understand a hero. The valet, I dare say, has great respect for some person of his own stamp.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

It is said that no man is a hero to his valet. That is because a hero can be recognized only by a hero.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

No man is a hero to his own valet.

Michel de Montaigne

No man is a hero to his valet de chamber

Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

A man must indeed be a hero to appear such in the eyes of his valet.

Thomas Carlyle

To a valet no man is a hero.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

P. Diddy gave me his valet ticket once... because he thought I was the valet lady.

Selena Gomez

To a valet no man is a hero. [Ger., Es gibt fur den Kammerdiener keiner Helden.]

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

A man can be a hero if he is a scientist, or a soldier, or a drug addict, or a disc jockey, or a crummy mediocre politician. A man can be a hero because he suffers and despairs; or because he thinks logically and analytically; or because he is "sensitive"; or because he is cruel. Wealth establishes a man as a hero, and so does poverty. Virtually any circumstance in a man's life will make him a hero to some group of people and has a mythic rendering in the culture - in literature, art, theater, or the daily newspapers.

Andrea Dworkin

I'd gladly do without a valet. I'm never so well treated as when I'm without a valet.

Francois Rabelais

No hero is a hero if he ever killed someone! Only the man who has not any blood in his hand can be a real hero! The honour of being a hero belongs exclusively to the peaceful people!

Mehmet Murat Ildan

He was a hero to his valet, who bullied him, and a terror to most of his relations, whom he bullied in turn. Only England could have produced him, and he always said that the country was going to the dogs. His principles were out of date, but there was a good deal to be said for his prejudices.

Oscar Wilde

We have these rules, the 'hero rules.' Like, a hero doesn't slouch. A hero walks proudly with his head up. A hero walks with a purpose. A hero's always a gentleman.

John Singleton

You are a vain fellow. You want to be a hero. That is why you do such silly things. A hero!... I don't quite know what that is: but, you see, I imagine that a hero is a man who does what he can. The others do not do it.

Romain Rolland

Well I remember the first thing that from coming from New York that just stunned me and I couldn't understand was that you valet park for everything. Even - you valet park to go to the dry cleaner. And that, you know, that just blew my mind. I was like, okay, you have to pay $5 to a guy to just drop off your dry cleaning. And so that, to me, was nuts - the fact you're always arriving.
