“There are periods when to dare, is the highest wisdom”

“To dry one's eyes and laugh at a fall, and, baffled, get up and begin again”

“He that cannot reason is a fool. He that will not is a bigot. He that dare not is a slave”

“Courage considered in itself or without reference to its causes, is no virtue, and deserves no esteem”

“The young do not know enough to be prudent, and therefore they attempt the impossible - and achieve it, generation after generation”

“Courage is almost a contradiction in terms. It means a strong desire to live taking the form of readiness to die”
