“If we take the generally accepted definition of bravery as a quality which knows no fear, I have never seen a brave man. All men are frightened. The more intelligent they are, the more they are frightened.”
General George S. Patton
“The brave man is not he who feels no fear, For that were stupid and irrational; But he, whose noble soul its fear subdues, And bravely dares the danger nature shrinks from”
Joanna Baillie
“Curiosity will conquer fear even more than bravery will.”
James Stephens

John Wainwright
“Having thus chosen our course, without guile and with pure purpose, let us renew our trust in God, and go forward without fear and with manly hearts.”
Abraham Lincoln
“Do the thing you fear most and the death of fear is certain.”
Mark Twain
“The history of the world is full of men who rose to leadership, by sheer force of self-confidence, bravery and tenacity.”
Mahatma Gandhi
