“Don't despair, not even over the fact that you don't despair.”

“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”

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

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

“To dare is to lose one's footing momentarily. Not to dare is to lose oneself”
