"Then rushd to meet the insulting foe: They took the spear, but left the shield."
"Im not a brave man. My self-image is of a very small and weak person. In point of fact, Im almost six feet, and solidly built. But I was a late bloomer. I spent those formative early high-school years as a pudgy little science whimp. Im still scared of big men with deep voices."

Courage is the choice and willingness to confront agony, pain, danger, uncertainty, or intimidation. Valour is courage or bravery, especially in battle.

"Toll for the brave! The brave that are no more."
"Who combats bravely is not therefore brave: He dreads a death-bed like the meanest slave."
"The god-like hero sate On his imperial throne: His valiant peers were placed around, Their brows with roses and with myrtles bound (So should desert in arms be crowned). The lovely Thais, by his side, Sate like a blooming Eastern bride In flower of youth and beautys pride. Happy, happy, happy pair! None but the brave, None but the brave, None but the brave deserve the fair."
"Fortes et strenuos etiam contra fortunam insistere, timidos et ignores ad desperationem formidine properare."
"A brave man is one who admits his fear. Only a fool believes himself invincible."
