Famous quotes containing the word bravest:
“The great ship, Balayne, lay frozen in the sea.
The one-foot stars were couriers of its death
To the wild limits of its habitation.
These were not tepid stars of torpid places
But bravest at midnight and in lonely spaces,
They looked back at Hans’ look with savage faces.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“Even the bravest among us rarely possesses the courage for what he really knows.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“Valor is of no service, chance rules all, and the bravest often fall by the hands of cowards.”
—Tacitus (c. 55–c. 120)
