Poor is the nation who has no heroes.
Poorer still is the nation which has them but forgets them.

If you want to be happy for an hour, take a nap.
If you want to be happy for a day, go fishing.
If you want to be happy for a month, get married.
If you want to be happy for a year, inherit a large sum of money.
If you want to be happy for a lifetime, do things for other people.

Thank you for your interest in the House of Heroes.
