The man who shot Liberty Valance,
He was the bravest of them all.

A good criminal is a dead one!

A murderer was a worthy companion.

Courage, however, is the best slayer — courage which attacks: which slays even death itself, for it says, 'Was that life? Well then! Once more!

The best terrorist, the dead one.

There was no man more valorous and courageous than Robert E. Lee.

The hero is brave in deeds as well as words.

The power to kill becomes the ultimate power in the hands of a man who has no reservations about employing it.

The proud heart feels not terror nor turns to run and it is his own courage that kills him

But there was no need to be ashamed of tears, for tears bore witness that a man had the greatest of courage, the courage to suffer.

It is better to die courageously than live as a coward.

There is not really any courage at all in attacking hoary or antiquated things, any more than in offering to fight one’s grandmother. The really courageous man is he who defies tyrannies young as the morning and superstitions fresh as the first flowers. The only true free-thinker is he whose intellect is as much free from the future as from the past.

He would have been a brave American who would have stood up to Joe Stilwell to his face.

He was a hero, that is, he was ready to sacrifice his own life for the pleasure of destroying thousands of other lives.
