Noble Quotes
-
Bravery is a mean state concerned with things that inspire confidence and with things fearful ... and leading us to choose danger and to face it, either because to do so is noble, or because not to do so is base.

As never mortal man before displayed?

And searched into thy hidden and mysterious ways
As Poet, as Philosopher, as Sage?
