God has given such brave soldiers to this Crown that, if they do not frighten our neighbours, at least they prevent us from being frightened by them.

Our life here is truly hellish. Fortunately, my soldiers are very brave and tougher than the enemy.

The fate of unborn millions will now depend, under God, on the courage and conduct of this army. Our cruel and unrelenting enemy leaves us only the choice of brave resistance, or the most abject submission. We have, therefore, to resolve to conquer or die.

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.

The brave man is not the one who has no fears, he is the one who triumphs over his fears.

Since the dawn of history, mankind has honoured and respected brave and honest people.
