Letter "B" » Bravery
"The brave man, indeed, calls himself lord of the land, through
his iron, through his blood.
[Ger., Zwar der Tapfere nennt sich Herr der Lander
Durch sein Eisen, durch sein Blut.]"
Author: Ernst Moritz Arndt
About: Bravery
"Song of the brave, how thrills thy tone
As when the Organ's music rolls;
No gold rewards, but song alone,
The deeds of great and noble souls.
[Ger., Hoch klingt das Lied vom braven Mann,
Wie Orgelton und Glockenklang;
Wer hohes Muths sich ruhmen kann
Den lohnt nicht Gold, den lohnt Gesang.]"
Author: Gottfried Augustus Burger
About: Bravery
"Brave men were living before Agamemnon."
Author: Lord Byron (George Gordon Noel Byron)
About: Bravery
"The truly brave,
When they behold the brave oppressed with odds,
Are touched with a desire to shield and save:–
A mixture of wild beasts and demi-gods
Are they–now furious as the sweeping wave,
Now moved with pity; even as sometimes nods
The rugged tree unto the summer wind,
Compassion breathes along the savage mind."
Author: Lord Byron (George Gordon Noel Byron)
About: Bravery
"Brave men are all vertebrates; they have their softness on the
surface and their toughness in the middle."
Author: Lord Byron (George Gordon Noel Byron)
About: Bravery
"No man can be brave who thinks pain the greatest evil; nor
temperate, who considers pleasure the highest god.
[Lat., Fortis vero, dolorem summum malum judicans; aut temperans,
voluptatem summum bonum statuens, esse certe nullo modo potest.]"
Author: Cicero (Marcus Tullius Cicero)
About: Bravery
"How sleep the brave, who sink to rest,
By all their country's wishes blest!
. . . .
By fairy hands their knell is rung,
By forms unseen their dirge is sung."
Author: William Collins
About: Bravery
"Brave men are brave from the very first.
[Fr., Les hommes valeureux le sont au premier coup.]"
Author: Pierre Corneille
About: Bravery
"Toil for the brave!
The brave that are no more."
Author: William Cowper
About: Bravery
"The god-like hero sate
On his imperial throne:
His valiant peers were placed around,
Their brows with roses and with myrtles bound
(So should desert in arms be crowned).
The lovely Thais by his side,
Sate like a blooming Eastern bride
In flower of youth and beauty's pride.
Happy, happy, happy pair!
None but the brave,
None but the brave,
None but the brave deserve the fair."
Author: John Dryden
