If we take the generally accepted definition of bravery as a quality which knows no fear, I have never seen a brave man. All men are frightened. The more intelligent they are, the more they are frightened.

A brave man is a man who dares to look the Devil in the face and tell him he is a Devil.

Being brave isn't the absence of fear. Being brave is having that fear but finding a way through it.

I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.

He who is brave is free.

Nothing gives a fearful man more courage than another's fear.

The opposite of bravery is not cowardice but conformity.

At the bottom of not a little of the bravery that appears in the world, there lurks a miserable cowardice. Men will face powder and steel because they have not the courage to face public opinion.

It is the coward who fawns upon those above him. It is the coward who is insolent whenever he dares be so.

Physical courage, which despises all danger, will make a man brave in one way; and moral courage, which despises all opinion, will make a man brave in another.
