Brave men are brave from the very first.

I have this feeling that the world is not in balance. And people are afraid, but we're also starting to be really brave.

'Brave' is one of those words that has been bleached of most of its meaning these days, thanks to far too many appearances in the glaring light of ad slogans and corporate public relations. I never thought about anything as brave anymore; it just seemed like a flabby, glib cliche.

There is a certain enthusiasm in liberty, that makes human nature rise above itself, in acts of bravery and heroism.

Bravery is the engine of change.

The coward sneaks to death; the brave live on.

Brave people are the firemen who run into the burning building. That's brave.

I'm not at all interested in the brave who fight against the odds and win. I am interested in those who accept their lot, as that is what many people in the world are doing. They do their best in ghastly conditions.

Being brave means to know something is scary, difficult, and dangerous, and doing it anyway, because the possibility of winning the fight is worth the chance of losing it.
