4 quotes

There are calumnies against which even innocence loses courage.

That dependable courage, which in spite of the most sudden circumstances, nevertheless allows freedom of mind, of judgment and of decision, is exceedingly rare.

Napoleon : In His Own Words (1916)

Courage cannot be counterfeited. It is one virtue that escapes hypocrisy.

Napoleon : In His Own Words (1916)
