Woman and men of retiring timidity are cowardly only in dangers which affect themselves, but the first to rescue when others are in danger.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Courage enlarges, cowardice diminishes resources. In desperate straits the fears of the timid aggravate the dangers that imperil the brave.
A timid person is frightened before a danger, a coward during the time, and a courageous person afterward.
Cowards are cruel, but the brave love mercy and delight to save.
Necessity makes even the timid brave.
Like timidity, bravery is also contagious.
Timidity makes a person modest. It makes him or her say, 'I'm not worthy of being written up in the record of deeds in heaven or on earth.' Timidity keeps people from their good. They are afraid to say, 'Yes, I deserve it.'
Women are tough; women are resilient and have an undying hope.
Women have always been courageous... They are always fearless when protecting their children and in the last century they have been fearless in the fight for their rights.
If a woman possesses manly virtues one should run away from her; and if she does not possess them she runs away from herself.
Even cowards can endure hardship; only the brave can endure suspense.
