The bravery of his grief did put me
Into a towering passion.
But who is this, what thing of sea or land,--
Female of sex it seems,--
That so bedeck'd, ornate, and gay,
Comes this way sailing
Like a stately ship
Of Tarsus, bound for th' isles
Of Javan or Gadire,
With all her bravery on, and tackle trim,
Sails fill'd, and streamers waving,
Courted by all the winds that hold them play,
An amber scent of odorous perfume
Her harbinger?
Bravery never goes out of fashion.
The history of the world is full of men who rose to leadership, by sheer force of self-confidence, bravery and tenacity.
True bravery is shown by performing without witness what one might be capable of doing before all the world!
At the bottom of a good deal of the bravery that appears in the world there lurks a miserable cowardice. Men will face powder and steel because they cannot face public opinion.
A true knight is fuller of bravery in the midst, than in the beginning of danger.
Bravery is the capacity to perform properly even when scared half to death.
The opposite of bravery is not cowardice but conformity.
Bravery has no place where it can avail nothing.
Bravery is the capacity to perform properly even when scared half to death.
Remember, sir, my liege, The kings your ancestors, together with The natural bravery of your isle, which stands As Neptune's park, ribbed and paled in With rocks unscalable and roaring waters, With sands that will not bear your enemies' boats But suck them up to th' topmast.
A true knight is fuller of bravery in the midst, than in the beginning of danger.
