“The charm of the best courages is that they are inventions,
inspirations, flashes of genius.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes Source: Society and Solitude--Courage
|

“Courage, the highest gift, that scorns to bend
To mean devices for a sordid end.
Courage--an independent spark from Heaven's bright throne,
By which the soul stands raised, triumphant high, alone.
Great in itself, not praises of the crowd,
Above all vice, it stoops not to be proud.
Courage, the mighty attribute of powers above,
By which those great in war, are great in love.
The spring of all brave acts is seated here,
As falsehoods draw their sordid birth from fear.”
George Farquhar Quotes Source: Love and a Bottle, part of dedication to the Lord Marquis of Carmarthen

“Tender handed stroke a nettle,
And it stings you for your pains;
Grasp it like a man of mettle,
And it soft as silk remains.”

“O friends, be men, and let your hearts be strong,
And let no warrior in the heat of fight
Do what may bring him shame in others' eyes;
For more of those who shrink from shame are safe
Than fall in battle, while with those who flee
Is neither glory nor reprieve from death.”
Homer ("Smyrns of Chios") Quotes Source: The Iliad (bk. V, l. 663), (Bryant's translation)

Non vultus instantis tyranni,
Mente quatit solida.]”

"Be bold! be bold!" and everywhere--"Be bold;

Better like Hector in the field to die,
Than like a perfumed Paris turn and fly.”
