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

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

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

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

Jamie Lynn Spears

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

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

Stuart Wilde

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

George Eliot

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.

Gail Tsukiyama

Opportunity in war is usually of greater value than bravery... Terrain is often of more value than bravery... Bravery is of more value than numbers.

Publius Flavius Vegetius Renatus

You don't get very far in life without having to be brave an awful lot. Because we all have our frightening moments and difficult trials and we don't have much of a choice but to get through 'em, and it takes a lot of bravery to do that. The most important thing about bravery is this - It's not about not being scared - it's about being scared and doing it anyway - that's bravery.

Ysabella Brave

Bravery on the battlefield is impossible for us. Bravery of the soul still remains open to us.

Mahatma Gandhi

I don't think that bravery is about skin. Bravery is about a willingness to show emotional need.

Richard Gere

You see, as I go along, I've come to consider bravery as just about the most pernicious of virtues. Bravery is a horrible thing. The human race has it left over from the animal world and we can't get rid of it.

James Jones
