Heroism is not only in the man, but in the occasion.

Summary

This quote emphasizes that heroism is not solely dependent on the individual's capabilities or qualities, but also depends on the situation at hand. It suggests that heroic acts often arise from specific circumstances that require courage, selflessness, and extraordinary actions to address a particular need or challenge. Therefore, heroism is not an inherent trait of an individual, but rather a response to the demands and opportunities presented by certain events or occasions.
