It is a brave act to despise death; but where life is more terrible than death, it is then the truest valor to dare to live.
Sir Thomas Browne
Glory is not a conceit. It is not a decoration for valor. Glory belongs to the act of being constant to something greater than yourself, to a cause, to your principles, to the people on whom you rely and who rely on you in rerun.
John McCain
As the Sandwich-Islander believes that the strength and valor of the enemy he kills passes into himself, so we gain the strength of the temptations we resist
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The most desirable quality in a soldier is constancy in the support of fatigue; valor is only secondary.
Napoleon Bonaparte
There is always safety in valor
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Valor is stability, not of legs and arms, but of courage and the soul.
Michel de Montaigne
Four things support the world: the learning of the wise, the justice of the great, the prayers of the good, and the valor of the brave.
Muhammad
I appreciate an old man's cautious opinion more than the valor of a young man.
Ali bin Abu-Talib
For not by numbers of men, nor by measure of body, but by valor of soul is war to be decided.
Flavius Belisarius
France is invaded; I am leaving to take command of my troops, and, with God's help and their valor, I hope soon to drive the enemy beyond the frontier.
Napoleon Bonaparte
