And thus this man died, leaving his death for an example of a noble courage, and a memorial of virtue, not only unto young men, but unto all his nation.—II MAC. vi, 31.

In struggling with misfortune lies the proof Of courage.

SHAKESPEARE.

We who defy the devil and all his works Are not to quail at any lesser hand, However evil and however strong.

ROBERT BUCHANAN.

Courage consists not in hazarding without fear, but being resolutely minded in a just cause. The brave man is not he who feels no fear, for that were stupid and irrational, but he whose noble soul subdues its fears, and bravely dares the danger nature shrinks from. JERROLD.

It requires a good, strong man to say: "I was mistaken, and am sorry." A weak man hesitates and often fails to do the right thing. FRANKLIN.

'Tis said courage is common, but the immense esteem in which it is held proves it to be rare. Animal resistance is, no doubt, common; but the pure article, courage with eyes, courage with conduct, self-possession at the cannon's mouth, cheerfulness in lonely adherence to the right, is the endowment of elevated character. R. W. EMERSON.

Have the courage to obey your Maker at the risk of being ridiculed by man. New York Star.
