That man is not truly brave who is afraid either to seem or to be, when it suits him, a coward.

You see, as I go along, I've come to consider bravery as just about the most pernicious of virtues. Bravery is a horrible thing. The human race has it left over from the animal world and we can't get rid of it.

You don't know what bravery is until you overcome fear.

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.

Being brave means to know something is scary, difficult, and dangerous, and doing it anyway, because the possibility of winning the fight is worth the chance of losing it.

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.

Brave men are brave from the very first.

We have perpetrated a myth in our society that being brave means not being afraid, but that's wrong.

Bravery is the capacity to perform properly even when scared half to death.

Bravery is being the only one who knows you're afraid.
