True Bravery Is Quiet, Undemonstrative.

They Love Indeed Who Quake To Say They Love.

And Thou My Minde Aspire To Higher Things; Grow Rich In That Which Never Taketh Rust.

Whatever Comes Out Of Despair Cannot Bear The Title Of Valor, Which Should Be Lifted Up To Such A Height That Holding All Things Under Itself, It Should Be Able To Maintain Its Greatness, Even In The Midst Of Miseries.
