Throughout our lifetime, we will have heard at least one influential quote. Due to this individual quote, our lives will be changed forever, whether it be good or bad. This, is the quote that has influenced me the most, and will continue to do so.

Roman philosopher “urged men to realize before it was too late that life, as most people led it ,

He is looked upon in a heroic way for fighting the justice system and showing courage, strength and ability to resist laws through making his own lifestyle, with separate beliefs, attitudes and values. He was a friend of the poor, kind to women and children, and an enemy of the rich. He was forced into crime by the harsh harassments of the authorities. He said to have died bravely against the more powerful forces of the law. He has grown to be an admired infamous figure for the way he stood up to authority and his larrikin ways.

He who has gone, so we but cherish his memory, abides with us, more potent, nay, more present than the living man.  ~Antoine de Saint-Exupery

He exposed hardships, misery, starvation and people who were suffering. Riis benefit his time for the less fortune. He didn’t want the people were living in

Louis Riel was a national hero, especially to the Métis of Canada. He defended his people, the Métis, and their rights by creating Le Comité National des Métis and the provisional government at Fort Garry. He showed the Canadian government that he is not a joke with the execution of Thomas Scott. He contributed to the creation and government placed in Manitoba with the Manitoba Act. And he also left, coming back with a new view and to attempt a peaceful negotiation.

“The spirit of an age sometimes descends to future generations in the form of a man… the spirit which works through masses of

Cesar signified heroism as being very wise. Despite the fact that Cesar had to quit his studies and during his spare time from work, he would educate himself. One very important topic he taught himself was the non violence teachings of Gandhi's influential movement. Cesar later on, inspired by Gandhi's peaceful ideas did his own civil rights movement for the migrant workers. Because of his wise actions of spreading nonviolent protests in his movement he is now seen as a heroic figure in a wide range of migrant workers in the United States.

An ophthalmologist by profession, Rizal turned into an essayist and a key individual from the Filipino Propaganda Movement which supported political changes for the state under Spain. He was executed by the Spanish frontier government for the crime of rebellion after an anti-colonial revolution, roused to some degree by his works, broke out. In spite of the fact that he was not effectively included in its arranging or direct, he at last affirmed of its objectives which in the end prompted Philippine freedom. He is broadly viewed as one of the best heroes of the Philippines, and is inferred by Philippine law to be one of the national legends. He was the books' writer Noli Me Tángere, and El Filibusterismo, and various poems and

Benedict Arnold was a notorious traitor. He was an American general during the Revolutionary War. He was a traitor because he attacked his own country and was disloyal. He defined who a traitor is. However, Louis Riel was not what Benedict Arnold was. When the Canadian government was trying to abate Metis rights, Louis Riel voluntarily coped with anguish to protect them. He was a hero because of all the pain that he tolerated for a noble cause of preserving Metis rights that benefited the greater good of Canada. Louis Riel exemplified what a “hero” is.

“Star Wars” was the well known nickname for the SDI project due to the idea of futuristic weaponry being added into the multilayered defense system, which prompted connections to the famous George Lucas film from 1977. In fact, the nickname first appeared when Senator Ted Kennedy, a skeptic, described the concepts of the SDI as "reckless Star Wars schemes." The SDI consists of many different layers of defenses, each layer acting as a backup and further neutralizing the threat that passes into the SDI’s range. Some of these layers were to be futuristic technology: particle beam lasers, X-Ray lasers, and other forms of radiation in laser form to create an effective neutralizing agent for any ICBM or other missile threat. Technology like lasers

I give you the mausoleum of all hope and desire; it's rather excrutiating-ly apt that you will use it to gain the reducto absurdum of all human experience which can fit your individual needs no better than it fitted his or his father's.  I give it to you not that you may remember time, but that you might forget it now and then for a moment and not spend all your breath trying to conquer it.  Because no battle is ever won he said.  They are not even fought.  The field only reveals to man his own folly and despair, and victory is an illusion of philosophers and fools.

On Dr. Jose Rizal’s day of execution, many supposition circulated about him revoking his words and his actions. This issue became a long term debate from then on until now. Some people profess that Jose Rizal retracted while others assert that he did not. This controversy cannot be ignored especially that we are talking about a man who has been recognized as the national hero of the country. One of the definitions of a hero and also my definition, is a person who is willing to die for the sake of others while a national hero is a person willing to die for the country, the point is if Rizal’s retraction papers were true, it only proves that he could not die for our country and I would be disappointed that he was declared as our national hero.
