Courage
My courage always rises at every attempt to intimidate me.
Think only of the past as its remembrance gives you pleasure.
For what do we live, but to make sport for our neighbours, and laugh at them in our turn?
I hope I never ridicule what is wise or good. Follies and nonsense, whims and inconsistencies, do divert me, I own, and I laugh at them whenever I can.
One half of the world cannot understand the pleasures of the other.

To know what is right and not to do it is the worst cowardice.
Screw your courage to the sticking-place, and we’ll not fail.
A hero is no braver than an ordinary man, but he is brave five minutes longer.
