Cupid makes it his sport to pull the warrior's plum.
He whom passion rules, is bent to meet his death.
Great is not great to the greater.
True bravery is quiet, undemonstrative.
Courage ought to be guided by skill, and skill armed by courage. Neither should hardiness darken wit, nor wit cool hardiness. Be valiant as men despising death, but confident as unwonted to be overcome.
Reason! how many eyes hast thou to see evils, and how dim, nay, blind, thou art in preventing them.
