A Quote by Adlai Stevenson I

Here, in the dread tribunal of last resort, valor contended against valor. Here brave men struggled and died for the right as God gave them to see the right.

Fear to do base, unworthy things is valor; if they be one to us, to suffer them is valor too.

Ben Jonson

The Proverbs 31 woman is a star not because of what she does but how she does it—with valor. So do your thing. If it’s refurbishing old furniture—do it with valor. If it’s keeping up with your two-year-old—do it with valor. If it’s fighting against human trafficking . . . leading a company . . . or getting other people to do your work for you—do it with valor. Take risks. Work hard. Make mistakes. Get up the next morning. And surround yourself with people who will cheer you on.

Rachel Held Evans

It is not always from valor or from chastity that men are brave, and women chaste.

Francois de La Rochefoucauld

There is no God-given right to victory on the battlefield. You win that through the skill and the devotion, the valor and the ferocity of your troops.

Jim Mattis

Valor' is a word we don't commonly hear. People can show courage and bravery confronting many different challenges in life. But 'valor' connotes willingly putting oneself in mortal danger to protect others.

William Barr

We are much mistaken if we think that men are always brave from a principle of valor, or women chaste from a principle of modesty.

Francois de La Rochefoucauld

A sad, wise valor is the brave complexion.

George Herbert

The States then being the parties to the constitutional compact, and in their sovereign capacity, it follows of necessity, that there can be no tribunal above their authority, to decide in the last resort, whether the compact made by them be violated; and consequently that as the parties to it, they must themselves decide in the last resort, such questions as may be of sufficient magnitude to require their interposition.

James Madison

Even against the greatest of odds, there is something in the human spirit - a magic blend of skill, faith, and valor - that can lift men from certain defeat to incredible victory.

Walter Lord

Valor and power may gain a lasting memory, but where are they when the brave and mighty are departed? Their effects may remain, but they live not in them any more than the fire in the work of the potter.

Hartley Coleridge

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

Elijah Muhammad

Honorable retreats are no ways inferior to brave charges, as having less fortune, more of discipline, and as much valor.

Christopher Hart

Against the flying ball no valor avails.

Martin Luther

I have known men of valor cowards to their wives.

Horace Walpole

Urges ... every man has urges. But the true measure of man is to admit them, to learn to control them. The Shield used to refer to themselves as the most dominant force in our universe. But that ain't the way I remember it. They fell victim to the faults of men. Their lust and greed and valor for glory, it led them right down in the pit, where they belong. Tonight, they'll burn for it. For I am no man. I am reborn. Our bond can never be broken, and our urges can never be satisfied.

Bray Wyatt

If all men were just there would be no need of valor.

Agesilaus II
