20 Captain America Quotes to Remind Us All of What it Means to Be a Hero

From the first time Steve Rogers picked up his shield as Captain America, the hero has fought for what he believed in and those that were close to him. His grit and determination to stand up to bullies was ground into him as a kid and has carried over into his adult life as one of the most important members of the Avengers both in the comics and the MCU. He never backs down from a fight and always puts his best foot forward whether it’s beating up a bunch of bullies or taking on Thanos. So to celebrate his 81st anniversary here are 20 of the best Captain America quotes to remind us all of what it means to be a true hero.

1. “No you move”

When confronted by a bereaved mother who blames him for the death of her son in Sokovia, Cap doesn’t mince words. It’s a standard hero-move and a reminder that the world doesn’t exist in a vacuum and a hero is still needed to protect the innocent.

2. “Plant yourself like a tree and look them in the eye”

One of the biggest problems with Rogers’ character is that his black-and-white sense of morality often fails to take into account the very real struggles that people face. This is most evident in his interactions with Stark, where he doles out criticism without any nuance or regard for the very real trauma that’s underpinning many of the hero’s actions.
