To call war the soil of courage and virtue is like calling debauchery the soil of love.

Fear makes the wolf bigger than he is.

Wealth lost---something lost; honor lost---much lost; Courage lost---all lost.

An old man loved is a winter with flowers

Weeping bride, laughing wife, laughing bride, weeping wife.

Courage is not merely a virtue; it is the virtue. Without it, there are no other virtues.
