Famous quotes containing the word brave:
“There was a sound of revelry by night,
And Belgium’s capital had gathered then
Her beauty and her chivalry, and bright
The lamps shone o’er fair women and brave men;
A thousand hearts beat happily; and when
Music arose with its voluptuous swell,
Soft eyes looked love to eyes which spake again,
And all went merry as a marriage-bell;
But hush! hark! a deep sound strikes like a rising knell!”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
““We must take things more cheerfully than they deserve; especially since we have for a long time taken them more seriously than they deserve.”MThus speak brave soldiers of knowledge.”
