Brave

Famous quotes containing the word brave:

    Thus Pegasus, a nearer way to take,
    May boldly deviate from the common track.
    From vulgar bounds with brave disorder part,
    And snatch a grace beyond the reach of art,
    Which without passing through the judgment, gains
    The heart, and all its end at once attains.
    Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

    and Olaf, too

    preponderatingly because
    unless statistics lie he was
    more brave than me: more blond than you.
    —E.E. (Edward Estlin)

    We are much mistaken if we think that men are always brave from a principle of valor, or women chaste from a principle of modesty.
    François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
