"Brave men are all vertebrates; they have their softness on the surface and their toughness in the middle" — Lewis Carroll

There are periods when to dare, is the highest wisdom

To dry one's eyes and laugh at a fall, and, baffled, get up and begin again

He that cannot reason is a fool. He that will not is a bigot. He that dare not is a slave

Courage considered in itself or without reference to its causes, is no virtue, and deserves no esteem

The young do not know enough to be prudent, and therefore they attempt the impossible - and achieve it, generation after generation

Courage is almost a contradiction in terms. It means a strong desire to live taking the form of readiness to die
