Nothing is too high for the daring of mortals: we storm heaven itself in our folly.
But heroes, at times, had to be fools.
Be not with honor's gilded baits beguil'd, Nor think ambition wise, because 'tis brave; For though we like it, as a forward child, 'Tis so unsound, her cradle is the grave.
I may be a fool, but I intend to be a live fool.
A man is but an ass Who fights in a cuirass
What valor were it, when a cur doth grin, for one to thrust his hand between his teeth, when he might spurn him with his foot away?
My love though silly is more brave.
I felt like the blonde in every horror movie who hears a noise in the basement and goes to investigate alone. Sometimes you smell the stupid all around you, but you step in it anyway.
There has seldom if ever a shortage of eager young males prepared to kill and die to preserve the security, comfort and prejudices of their elders, and what you call heroism is just an expression of this simple fact; there is never a scarcity of idiots.
The world is changed not by the self-regarding, but by men and women prepared to make fools of themselves.
There is nothing on earth so stupid as a gallant officer.
