The Truly Valiant Dare Everything But Doing

Often Extraordinary Excellence, Not Being Rightly Conceived, Does Rather Offend Than Please.

High Honor Is Not Only Gotten And Born By Pain And Danger, But Must Be Nursed By The Like, Else It Vanisheth As Soon As It Appears To The World.

It Is Hard, But It Is Excellent, To Find The Right Knowledge Of When Correction Is Necessary And When Grace Doth Most Avail.

Fearfulness, Contrary To All Other Vices, Maketh A Man Think The Better Of Another, The Worse Of Himself.

Courage Ought To Be Guided By Skill, And Skill Armed By Courage. Neither Should Hardiness Darken Wit, Nor Wit Cool Hardiness. Be Valiant As Men Despising Death, But Confident As Unwonted To Be Overcome.
