Courage consists not in hazarding without fear; but being resolutely minded in a just cause.

Someone praising a man for his foolhardy bravery, Cato, the elder, said, ''There is a wide difference between true courage and a mere contempt of life.''

Just as courage imperils life, fear protects it.

The superstitious man wishes he did not believe in gods, as the atheist does not, but fears to disbelieve in them.

When the candles are out all women are fair

Courage is serving a cause that is greater than yourself.
