We fail! — Courage

"Courage is the most powerful and prominent situation that a person experiences in his life and in some situations he sometimes remembers it whether at the time of victory or by chance."

"Courage is an action not a form. Courage leads to the stars fear leads to death. So be brave so that you may live among the wolves."

"The soul, secured in her existence, smiles At the drawn dagger, and defies its point."

"True courage… has so little to do with Anger, that there lies always the strongest Suspicion against it, where this Passion is highest. The true Courage is the cool and calm. The bravest of Men have the least of a brutal bullying Insolence; and in the very time of Danger are found the most serene, pleasant, and free. Rage, we know, can make a Coward forget himself and fight. But what is done in Fury, or Anger, can never be placd to the account of Courage."

"Now people with courage are needed. It is better to die, facing life with courage. To live as a coward is shameful – it is better that the coward drown himself in the river. (…) Awake! Arise! Be brave!"

"Sta come torre ferma, che non crolla Giammai la cima per soffiar de venti."
