Bravery is often too sharp a spur.

The unspoken word never does harm.

The era of Christianity peace, brotherhood, the Golden Rule as applied to governmental matters is. yet to come, and when it comes, then, and then only, will the future of nations be sure.

The brave are parsimonious of threats.
