Hero lives a code, but there seems to be no codes any more. As for me I like this one:

Code of the West
by James P. Owen
1. Live each day with courage.
2. Take pride in your work.
3. Always finish what you start.
4. Do what has to be done.
5. Be tough, but fair.
6. When you make a promise, keep it.
7. Ride for the brand.
8. Talk less and say more.
9. Remember that some things aren't for sale.
10. Know where to draw the line.

I think John Wayne summed it up very well in his last movie, “The Shootist”:

“I won’t be wronged, I won’t be insulted, and I won’t be laid a hand on. I don’t do these things to others, and I expect the same from them.”

John Wayne, George Patton, William F. Halsey, Chesty Puller, George Washington, and Robert E. Lee: My heroes.
