A man's opinion of danger varies at different times, in consequence of an irregular tide of animal spirits; and he is actuated by considerations which he dares not avow.

True courage scorns to vent her prowess in a storm of words; and to the valiant action speaks alone.

False as the fowler's artful snare.

Glory is the child of peril.

The great Cham of literature. (Samuel Johnson)

To the valiant actions speak alone.

There is not room to swing a cat.
