Brave men do not gather by thousands to torture and murder a single individual, so gagged and bound he cannot make even feeble resistance or defense.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
That man is not truly brave who is afraid either to seem or to be, when it suits him, a coward.
The pressure of adversity does not affect the mind of the brave man... It is more powerful than external circumstances.
Brave men are brave from the very first.
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.
The opposite of bravery is not cowardice but conformity.
He who is brave is free.
Cowards are cruel, but the brave love mercy and delight to save.
This is a formidable enemy. To dismiss it as a bunch of 'cowards' perpetuating 'senseless acts of violence' is complacent nonsense. People willing to kill thousands of innocents while they kill themselves are not cowards. They are deadly vicious warriors and need to be treated as such.
There is little that can withstand a man who can conquer himself.
Even cowards can endure hardship; only the brave can endure suspense.
