The principal act of courage is to endure and withstand dangers doggedly rather than to attack them.

Courage enlarges cowardice diminishes resources. In desperate straits the fears of the timid aggravate the dangers that imperil the brave.

The main dangers in this life are the people who want to change everything... or nothing.

Beauty like ice our footing does betray Who can tread sure on the smooth slippery way: Pleased with the surface we glide swiftly on And see the dangers that we cannot shun.
