The pressure of adversity does not affect the mind of the brave man... It is more powerful than external circumstances.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
True courage is a result of reasoning. A brave mind is always impregnable.
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.
Being brave isn't the absence of fear. Being brave is having that fear but finding a way through it.
That man is not truly brave who is afraid either to seem or to be, when it suits him, a coward.
Adversity is sometimes hard upon a man; but for one man who can stand prosperity, there are a hundred that will stand adversity.
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.
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.
We have perpetrated a myth in our society that being brave means not being afraid, but that's wrong.
Courage consists not in blindly overlooking danger, but in seeing it, and conquering it.
Nothing gives a fearful man more courage than another's fear.
