About this Quote

This quote by Jean-Jacques Rousseau is a suggestion that true heroes are not always the ones who boast the loudest. It recommends that those who are the most vocal about their accomplishments and abilities are often the least brave. This is due to the fact that they depend on their words to make themselves appear more outstanding than they really are. It is those who are simple and simple who are often the bravest and most brave. They are the ones who want to put their lives on the line for the higher great, without expecting recognition or reward. Rousseau's quote is a suggestion that real courage and heroism come from within, and that it is not constantly the most boastful who are the most heroic.
