“Dauntless: being brave in the midst of fear.”

“Being brave isn't about being unafraid. It's about functioning through the fear.”

“Courage isn't just about being brave. It's about overcoming fear and daring to do what is right for your fellow man.”

“Be more weary of the fearful than of the brave.”

“Employment is a condition of being. Unemployment is a period of transition. We bravely present ourselves as having value. It's a façade of projected personal confidence. And a stomach quivering with fear.”

“I have realized that part of being Dauntless is being willing to make things more difficult for yourself in order to be self-sufficient. There's nothing especially brave about wandering dark streets with no flashlight, but we are not supposed to need help, even from light. We are supposed to be capable of anything. I like that. Because there might come a day when there is no flashlight, there is no gun, there is no guiding hand. And I want to be ready.”
