From Dan Galvin's Thought For The Day mailing list:
In our world of big names, curiously,
our true heroes tend to be anonymous.
In this life of illusion and quasi-illusion,
the person of solid virtues who can be
admired for something more substantial than
his well-knownness often proves to be the
unsung hero: the teacher, the nurse, the mother,
the honest cop, the hard worker at lonely,
underpaid, unglamorous, unpublicized jobs.
-Daniel J Boorstin, historian, professor,
attorney, and writer (1914-2004)
