Monarchs ought to put to death the authors and instigators of war as their sworn enemies and as dangers to their states.

We cannot banish dangers but we can banish fears. We must not demean life by standing in awe of death.

There is a measure needing courage to adopt and enforce it which I believe to be of virtue sufficient to redeem the nation in this its darkest hour: one only I know of no other to which we may rationally trust for relief from impending dangers without and within.

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.
