True nobility is exempt from fear.

Talk that does not end in any kind of action is better suppressed altogether.

There are some people, you know, they think the way to be a big man is to shout and stomp and raise hell-and then nothing ever really happens. I’m not like that I never shoot blanks.

I try to give to the poor people for love what the rich could get for money. No, I wouldn’t touch a leper for a thousand pounds; yet I willingly cure him for the love of God.

Morality which depends upon the helplessness of a man or woman has not much to recommend it. Morality is rooted in the purity of our hearts.

The greatest virtues are those which are most useful to other persons.

No one has ever become poor by giving.

Courage is a kind of salvation.

If selfishness is the key to being miserable, then selflessness must be the key to being happy!

Fear of a name increases fear of the thing itself.

It is vain for the coward to flee; death follows close behind; it is only by defying it that the brave escape.

One ought never to turn one’s back on a threatened danger and try to run away from it. If you do that, you will double the danger. But if you meet it promptly and without flinching, you will reduce the danger by half. Never run away from anything. Never!

The valiant never taste of death but once.

Courage is contagious. When a brave man takes a stand, the spines of others are often stiffened.

Courage is a mean with regard to fear and confidence.

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

People who add value to others do so intentionally. I say that because to add value, leaders must give of themselves, and that rarely occurs by accident.

It’s amazing if you just listen to people. They tell you all the time things that you can do for them, without even realizing what they’re doing. I’ve learned to take notice of those things and if it’s something that I feel God wants me to do, then I try to do that to add joy to their life.

A general is just as good or just as bad as the troops under his command make him.

There is still much debate about whether torture has been effective in eliciting information – the assumption being, apparently, that if it is effective, then it may be justified.

How can any man be weak who dares to be at all?

Failure is unimportant. It takes courage to make a fool of yourself.

A bone to the dog is not charity. Charity is the bone shared with the dog, when you are just as hungry as the dog.
