All is not lost, the unconquerable will, and study of revenge, immortal hate, and the courage never to submit or yield.
—John Milton, Paradise Lost
It is curious that physical courage should be so common in the world, and moral courage so rare.
—from Mark Twain in Eruption: Hitherto Unpublished Pages About Men and Events
Courage is not simply one of the virtues but the form of every virtue at the testing point, which means at the point of highest reality.
—C.S. Lewis, The Screwtape Letters
