A timid person is frightened before a danger, a coward during the time, and a courageous person afterward.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Courage enlarges, cowardice diminishes resources. In desperate straits the fears of the timid aggravate the dangers that imperil the brave.
Woman and men of retiring timidity are cowardly only in dangers which affect themselves, but the first to rescue when others are in danger.
A person's fears are lighter when the danger is at hand.
I'm not what you'd call a fearless type of person.
Courage - a perfect sensibility of the measure of danger, and a mental willingness to endure it.
Fear has nothing to do with cowardice. A fellow is only yellow when he lets his fear make him quit.
That man is not truly brave who is afraid either to seem or to be, when it suits him, a coward.
A man who is not afraid is not aggressive, a man who has no sense of fear of any kind is really a free, a peaceful man.
Courage is a mean with regard to fear and confidence.
The timid man calls himself cautious, the sordid man thrifty.
