6. Heroism works in contradiction to the voice of mankind, and in contradiction, for a time, to the voice of the great and good. Heroism is an obedience[332] to a secret impulse of an individual's character. Now to no other man can its wisdom appear as it does to him, for every man must be supposed to see a little further on his own proper path than any one else. Therefore, just and wise men take umbrage at his act, until after some little time be past: then they see it to be in unison with their acts. All prudent men see that the action is clean contrary to a sensual prosperity; for every heroic act measures itself by its contempt of some external good. But it finds its own success at last, and then the prudent also extol.

白话
英雄主义与人类的声音相矛盾,并且暂时与伟大和善良者的声音相矛盾。英雄主义是对个人性格中一种秘密冲动的服从。现在,它的智慧在别人看来不可能像在他自己看来那样,因为必须假定每个人在自己的道路上比别人看得更远一点。因此,公正和明智的人会对他的行为感到不快,直到过了一段时间:然后他们看到它与他们的行为一致。所有谨慎的人都看到,这行动与感官的繁荣完全相反;因为每一个英雄行为都以对某种外在善的蔑视为衡量标准。但它最终会找到自己的成功,那时谨慎的人也会赞美它。
