“There is, in addition to a courage with which men die; a courage by which men must live.”

“Think of all those ages through which men have had the courage to die, and then remember that we have actually fallen to talking about having the courage to live.”

“Tom's cowardice was as huge as his courage, as it must be in great men.”

“The principle on which to manage an army is to set up one standard of courage which all must reach.”

“A man with outward courage dares to die; a man with inner courage dares to live.”

“The power of men like me does not come solely from our ability to kill--which is no small talent in itself, true, but neither is it as rare as gold. No, the true source of our power is so obvious it sometimes goes unnoticed for what it is: our power comes from other men's lack of courage. There is even less courage in this world than here is talent for killing. Men like me rule because most men are faint of heart in the shadow of death.”
