For a while, I've been constantly thinking to myself the phrase "Some heroes only try". I have been trying to find the meaning of this phrase.

I think it means something about me being higher than heroes, but I have no idea.

Does anyone have any input about the phrase "Some heroes only try?"

first of all, where did you hear this phrase? and who said it?

Sometimes life is not measured by results, as sometimes the actions that are best for all concerned seem to fail in the short term.

It also tells me that more often it's the everyday actions that make for a better society than the ones that draw the most attention.

If Google doesn't turn anything up my argument is that you made it up/misquoted it.

I did not hear this phrase fron anyone, or anywhere; it was just something that popped into my head while I was thinking about stuff.

Maybe it does have to do with people doing the little things, but what would heroes trying represent?

How about this?

You could say that "All heroes only try." None have actually succeeded. The world can't be saved.
