Quote of the Day: True Heroes

Cowards play to the roaring crowd, and give the crowd what the crowd demands.  Cowards buy their cheap glory and security by coddling what is seen and loved, and by attacking what is seen and despised, without regard to the consequences that such coddling and attacking will have in the future.  In contrast, a true economic hero is someone who, even at great personal cost, appropriately deals with the unseen future – with the unnoticed and unappreciated potentials – no less than with the noticed and looming here and now.
This is from Professor and Café Hayek Blogger Donald J. Boudreaux
