I do believe any hero is a person that can be knocked down. A failure isn't a person who gets knocked down a failure is a person who stays down, and to me, the great heroes take the beating, get knocked down and stand back up again.

It can sound trite if you just say citizens need to be educated for democracy to work, but for him it wasn't trite.
