    Write on your doors the saying wise and old,
    "Be bold! be bold!" and everywhere--"Be bold;
    Be not too bold!" Yet better the excess
    That the defect; better the more than less;
    Better like Hector in the field to die,
    Than like a perfumed Paris turn and fly.

Courage, the highest gift, that scorns to bend
To mean devices for a sordid end.
Courage--an independent spark from Heaven's bright throne,
By which the soul stands raised, triumphant high, alone.
Great in itself, not praises of the crowd,
Above all vice, it stoops not to be proud.
Courage, the mighty attribute of powers above,
By which those great in war, are great in love.
The spring of all brave acts is seated here,
As falsehoods draw their sordid birth from fear.

Last, but by no means least, courage-moral courage, the courage of one's convictions, the courage to see things through. The world ; is in a constant conspiracy against the brave.
