“I believe there’s a hero in all of us, that keeps us honest, gives us strength, makes us noble, and finally allows us to die with pride. Even though sometimes we have to be steady and give up the things we want the most, even our dreams.”

Aunt May, Spiderman 2 (2004)

I have always loved this quote from Spiderman 2 since I was a kid as it reminds me to be someone who makes a positive difference in somebody’s life.
