Summary

This quote suggests that while both ordinary individuals and heroes engage in actions, there is a stark contrast between the two. The ordinary man merely participates in routine activities and acts out of necessity or habit. On the other hand, the hero takes intentional and bold actions, driven by a sense of purpose or to overcome challenges. The distinction lies in the hero's courage, determination, and ability to transcend the ordinary, making them stand out from the crowd.

I will say something still easier. Take a single flea or louse-since you tempt and mock our God with this talk about curing a lame horse-and if, after combining all the powers and concentrating all the efforts both of your good and all your supporters, you succeed in killing it in the name of free choice, you shall be victorious, your case shall be established, and we too will come at once and worship that god of yours, that wonderful killer of the louse.

In science it often happens that scientists say, 'You know that's a really good argument; my position is mistaken,' and then they would actually change their minds and you never hear that old view from them again. They really do it. It doesn't happen as often as it should, because scientists are human and change is sometimes painful. But it happens every day. I cannot recall the last time something like that happened in politics or religion.
