The neglected pioneer of one revolution, the honoured victim of another, brave to the point of folly, and as humane as he was brave, no man in his generation preached republican virtue in better English, nor lived it with a finer disregard of self.

H. N. Brailsford, in "Thomas Paine", in Shelley, Godwin and Their Circle (1913); as cited in Thomas Paine (1988) by A. J. Ayer, p. 188.Thomas Paine
Each man must not think only of himself, but also of his buddy fighting beside him. We don't want yellow cowards in this Army. They should be killed off like rats. If not, they will go home after this war and breed more cowards. The brave men will breed more brave men. Kill off the Goddamned cowards and we will have a nation of brave men.
George S. Patton
Toll for the brave —
The brave! that are no more;
All sunk beneath the wave,
Fast by their native shore!William Cowper
All brave men love; for he only is brave who has affections to fight for, whether in the daily battle of life, or in physical contests.
Nathaniel Hawthorne
You should leave that place, my girl” “you know me better than that.” “yes, I do. Too brave for your own good. Too brave now, I think.” “would you have me any less?” “I’m sorry. No, I wouldn’t have you less.”
Alice Borchardt
Happy, happy, happy pair!
None but the brave,
None but the brave,
None but the brave deserves the fair.John Dryden
