Whenever you do what is holy, be of good cheer, knowing that God Himse — Courage

"Can a man still be brave if hes afraid?" "That is the only time a man can be brave."

"There is a contemptibly quiet path for all those who are afraid of the blows and clamor of opposing forces. There is no honorable fighting for a man who is not ready to forget that he has a head to be battered and a name to be bespattered. Truth wants no champion who is not as ready to be struck as to strike for her."

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

"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!"

"To worship to other than ones own ancestral spirits is brown-nosing. If you see what is right and fail to act on it, you lack courage."

"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."
