We need men with moral courage to speak and write their real thoughts, and to stand by their convictions, even to the very death.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The actions of men are the best interpreters of their thoughts.
When the men are silent, it is our duty to raise our voices in behalf of our ideals.
If we are to survive, we must have ideas, vision, and courage. These things are rarely produced by committees. Everything that matters in our intellectual and moral life begins with an individual confronting his own mind and conscience in a room by himself.
Each man must grant himself the emotions that he needs and the morality that suits him.
Until the day of his death, no man can be sure of his courage.
I have always thought the actions of men the best interpreters of their thoughts.
Mark this well, you proud men of action! you are, after all, nothing but unconscious instruments of the men of thought.
Men are convinced of your arguments, your sincerity, and the seriousness of your efforts only by your death.
It is easy enough to praise men for the courage of their convictions. I wish I could teach the sad young of this mealy generation the courage of their confusions.
That men should live honestly, quietly, and comfortably together, it is needful that they should live under a sense of God's will, and in awe of the divine power, hoping to please God, and fearing to offend Him, by their behaviour respectively.
