Moral courage is higher and a rarer virtue than physical courage.

You see, as I go along, I've come to consider bravery as just about the most pernicious of virtues. Bravery is a horrible thing. The human race has it left over from the animal world and we can't get rid of it.

I have reached the conclusion that those who have physical courage also have moral courage. Physical courage is a great test.

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.

It is curious that physical courage should be so common in the world and moral courage so rare.

Bravery is the capacity to perform properly even when scared half to death.

The opposite of bravery is not cowardice but conformity.

To me, bravery is to stand up for what you believe in.

If we take the generally accepted definition of bravery as a quality which knows no fear, I have never seen a brave man. All men are frightened. The more intelligent they are, the more they are frightened.

Loyalty and devotion lead to bravery. Bravery leads to the spirit of self-sacrifice. The spirit of self-sacrifice creates trust in the power of love.
