And God said, "A way must be conceived to pursue the dead beyond the tomb."

Letters From the Earth (1909)

Say the report is exaggerated.

Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear—not absence of fear. Except a creature be part coward it is not a compliment to say it is brave; it is merely a loose application of the word. Consider the flea! — incomparably the bravest of all the creatures of God, if ignorance of fear were courage.
