You should be careful, tossing descriptors like that around in a situation like this. My ‘problem’ isn’t little. Unless you’re drawing some pretty wild comparisons. Please tell me you’re not drawing wild comparisons. Or blood-relative comparisons.

Rachel Vincent

The bravery founded upon the hope of recompense, upon the fear of punishment, upon the experience of success, upon rage, upon ignorance of dangers, is common bravery, and does not merit the name. True bravery proposes a just end, measures the dangers, and, if it is necessary, the affront, with coldness.

Francois de la Noue

People compare me to Kendrick. I've seen comparisons with Jay-Z, with Nas, with Chance The Rapper. I get a lot of Eminem comparisons.

Cordae

Honestly, direct monetary comparisons aren't helpful. If you're going to look at remuneration, you have to be realistic about what revenue we're bringing in for the organisation and the sport. And as it currently stands, women's cricket is still a cost to the business.

Ellyse Perry

I think we're living in an age which despises humanity and despises bravery and doesn't need bravery because modern warfare has rather gone beyond bravery. It is a kind of warfare where people are fighting enemies they never see, killing people of whom they know nothing.

Robertson Davies

It stands for diversity. It stands for vision and strength. It stands for belief in the right things. That's what I think it stands for.

John Carlos

It takes bravery to be a young mom, and it does take bravery to let the world watch.

Jamie Lynn Spears

You need bravery because in the picture of soul, the bravery points are the most beautiful.

Amit Ray

I'll tell you what bravery really is. Bravery is just determination to do a job that you know has to be done.

Audie Murphy

Bravery is not strength in the face of a far lesser foe. Bravery is the exact opposite of that.

Hank Green

Bravery ceases to be bravery at a certain point, and becomes mere foolhardiness.

Rabindranath Tagore

Physical bravery is an animal instinct; moral bravery is much higher and truer courage.

Wendell Phillips

People glorify all sorts of bravery except the bravery they might show on behalf of their nearest neighbors.

George Eliot

Bravery is not the absence of fear. Bravery is the ability to operate effectively even while totally terrified.

Stuart Wilde

Esk felt that bravery was called for, but on a night like this bravery lasted only as long as a candle stayed alight.

Terry Pratchett

It is not an act of bravery to try to save your own village. It is an instinct to protect what you possess. Bravery is when you step in to help when you have nothing to lose.
