"Heroes are ordinary men who do extraordinary things in extraordinary times."

Who is the quote originally by? I've seen it in someone's signature on Anandtech forums...

That is what all of my searches have found, but there has to be an original person that said the quote. I also came up with the name John Simpson Kirkpatrick, but I dont think he said it. Maybe it was said about him.

That's what my searches on google.com turned up as well, but I think it's by someone else?

i've read that quote on a quote collection page before. i believe it's from one of the dead guys: FDR, mark twain, albert einstein, etc.

google for "collection of quotes" or something like that and there should be search engines for quotes. i think.

I think people have been using different combinations of those words for quite some time now...check out the Google results for searching "ordinary extraordinary heroes"

I maybe wrong, but I believe it was Winston Churchill.
