I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.

Just as courage is the danger of life, so is fear its safeguard.

We must build dikes of courage to hold back the flood of fear.

Fear is a reaction. Courage is a decision.

You must not fear death, my lads; defy him, and you drive him into the enemy's ranks.

Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear, not absence of fear.
