The Great, the Charitable, the Humble, the Genius, Mr. Toad

 As well as adventurous, a wise, a well-dressed, a not-the-shape-of-a-fat-washerwoman, a patriotic and law-abiding citizen, is that Mr. Toad. 
 "The World has held great Heroes,
As history books have showed;
But never a name to go down to fame
Compared with that of Toad!"

(The Wind in the Willows, Chapter 10: The Further Adventures of Toad, pg.180.).
