A man of courage flees forward, in the midst of new things.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
He who flees will fight again.
Man's heart away from nature becomes hard.
How shall a man escape from that which is written; How shall he flee from his destiny?
Man can certainly flee from God... but he cannot escape him. He can certainly hate God and be hateful to God, but he cannot change into its opposite the eternal love of God which triumphs even in his hate.
Courage is being afraid but going on anyhow.
Man is a special being, and if left to himself, in an isolated condition, would be one of the weakest creatures; but associated with his kind, he works wonders.
Faced with crisis, the man of character falls back on himself. He imposes his own stamp of action, takes responsibility for it, makes it his own.
It is vain for the coward to flee; death follows close behind; it is only by defying it that the brave escape.
A man's character is his fate.
That man is not truly brave who is afraid either to seem or to be, when it suits him, a coward.
