“Courage is fear holding on a minute longer.”

“Moral courage is the most valuable and usually the most absent characteristic in men”

“Human beings are made up of flesh and blood, and a miracle fiber called courage.”

“Take not counsel of your fears”

“I don’t fear failure. I only fear the slowing up of the engine inside of me which is saying, ‘Keep going, someone must be on top, why not you?”

“Every man is scared in his first battle. If he says he s not he s a liar. Some men are cowards but they fight the same as the brave men or they get the hell slammed out of them watching men fight who are just as scared as they are. The real hero is the man who fights even though he is scared.Some men get over their fright in a minute under fire. For some it takes an hour. For some it takes days. But a real man will never let his fear of death overpower his honor his sense of duty to his country and his innate manhood. Battle is the most magnificent competition in which a human being can indulge. It brings out all that is best and it removes all that is base.”

“A real man will never let his fear of death overpower his honor, his sense of duty to his country, and his innate manhood. ”
