There are no brave men and cowardly men in the world, my son. There are only brave men. To be born, to live, to die—that takes courage enough in itself, and more than enough. We are all brave men and we are all afraid, and what the world calls a brave man, he too is brave and afraid like the all rest of us. Only he is brave for five minutes longer.

Alistair Maclean

Brave men are brave from the very first. [Fr., Les hommes valeureux le sont au premier coup.]

Pierre Corneille

There are two kinds of brave men: those who are brave by the grace of nature, and those who are brave by an act of will.

Norman Mailer

Brave doesn't spread hate or bully the vulnerable. Brave doesn't put greed and self-interest over millions of lives. Brave doesn't cower behind lies and walls. Brave doesn't pit people against one another. That's what fear does.

Kirsten Gillibrand

Be moral. Be brave. Be a heart-whole man, strictly moral, brave unto desperation. Don't bother your head with religious theories. Cowards only sin, brave men never, no, not even in mind.

Swami Vivekananda

I've gotten a lot of people saying. 'That is awesome. You're so brave.' I hate when people say brave. I'm not brave. I'm just living my life. Why is that brave?

Oksana Masters

I knew that I would have to be brave. Not foolhardy, not in love with risk and danger, not making ridiculous exhibitions of myself to prove that I wasn't terrified--really genuinely brave. Brave enough to be quiet when quiet was called for, brave enough to observe before flinging myself into something, brave enough to not abandon my true self when someone else wanted to seduce or force me in a direction I didn't want to go, brave enough to stand my ground quietly.

Piper Kerman

If you act brave, you can seem brave, and if you do it enough, you can talk yourself into believing you're brave.

Kelli O'Hara

Brave men rejoice in adversity, just as brave soldiers triumph in war.

Lucius Annaeus Seneca

Commonly men will only be brave as their fathers were brave, or timid.

Henry David Thoreau

Even brave men, and D'Arnot was a brave man, are sometimes frightened by solitude.

Edgar Rice Burroughs

Live as brave men; and if fortune is adverse, front its blows with brave hearts.

Marcus Tullius Cicero

It's not always enough to be brave, I realized years later. You have to be brave and contribute something positive, too. Brave on its own is just a party trick.

B. J. Novak

Be brave. Cowards always get hurt. Brave men generally come out unharmed.

A. B. Simpson

feel Tobias brushing my hair back before the first simulation. I hear him telling me to be brave. I hear my mother telling me to be brave(...) I am brave.
