You can't be brave if you've only had wonderful things happen to you.

God himself favors the brave.

All are brave when the enemy flies.

God helps the brave.

...nothing is so entirely admirable as a man bravely wretched.

Courage is the price that Life exacts for granting peace.

Any coward can fight a battle when he's sure of winning; but give me the man who has pluck to fight when he's sure of losing.

Without courage, you cannot practice any other virtue. You have to have courage-courage of different kinds: first, intellectual courage, to sort out different values and make up your mind about which is the one which is right for you to follow. You have to have moral courage to stick up to that-no matter what comes in your way, no matter what the obstacle and the opposition is. Opposition comes not only from your enemies but sometimes from your friends, and the latter is much more difficult to face. You have to have physical courage, because very often going along the path of your choice is full of physical hardship.

If one cannot live the life of the brave, then it is better to die like the brave.

Courage is the ladder on which all other virtues mount.
