Courage consists not in blindly overlooking danger, but in seeing it, and conquering it.

The timid are afraid before the danger, the cowardly while in danger, and the courageous after danger.

If we survive danger it steels our courage more than anything else

A timid person is frightened before a danger, a coward during the time, and a courageous person afterward.

Woman and men of retiring timidity are cowardly only in dangers which affect themselves, but the first to rescue when others are in danger.

A good upbringing consists in hiding how much you think of yourself, and how little you think of others.
