“Courage cannot be counterfeited. It is one virtue that escapes hypocrisy.”

“Nothing is lost as long as courage remains”

“Men are more easily governed through their vices than through their virtues.”

“Courage is like love, it must have hope for nourishment.”

“Courage isn't having the strength to go on - it is going on when you don't have strength.”

“He who cannot look over a battlefield with a dry eye, causes the death of many men uselessly.”

“Men have their virtues and their vices, their heroisms and their perversities; men are neither wholly good nor wholly bad, but possess and practice all that there is of good and bad here below. Such is the general rule. Temperament, education, the accidents of life, are modifying factors. Outside of this, everything is ordered arrangement, everything is chance. Such has been my rule of expectation and it has usually brought me success.”
