It is better to be nobly remembered than nobly born.

I am young, it is true; but in noble souls valor does not wait for years.

Valor is common but great souls are rare.

Bernard Joseph Saurin

The perfection of conversation is not to play a regular sonata, but, like the AEolian harp, to await the inspiration of the passing breeze.

Edmund Burke

Some are satisfied to stand politely before the portals of Fortune and to await her bidding; better those who push forward, who employ their enterprise, who on the wings of their worth and valor seek to embrace luck, and to effectively gain her favor.

Baltasar Gracian

Misfortune nobly born is good fortune.

Marcus Aurelius

I think it takes a larger nature to receive nobly than to give nobly.

Sophocles

Five years from the date of the attack that changed our world, we've come back to remember the valor of those we lost-those who innocently went to work that day and the brave souls who went in after them. We have also come to be ever mindful of the courage of those who grieve for them, and the light that still lives in their hearts.

Rudy Giuliani

Anton Chekhov

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

Ben Jonson

Let a man nobly live or nobly die.

Sophocles

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.
