The pressure of adversity does not affect the mind of the brave man... It is more powerful than external circumstances.

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

The approach of liberty makes even an old man brave.

Behold a worthy sight, to which the God, turning his attention to his own work, may direct his gaze. Behold an equal thing, worthy of a God, a brave man matched in conflict with evil fortune.

He who is brave is free.

The bravest sight in the world is to see a great man struggling against adversity.
