"Brave men rejoice in adversity, just as brave soldiers triumph in war." ― Lucius Annaeus Seneca Topic(s): Courage Tags: adversity, brave, rejoice More From Lucius Annaeus Seneca "Shun no toil to make yourself remarkable by some talent or other; yet do not devote yourself to one branch exclusively. Strive to get clear notions about all. Give up no science entirely; for science is but one." "The display of grief makes more demands than grief itself. How few men are sad in their own company." "Genius always gives its best at first; prudence, at last."

Schumacher "Greatness, in the last analysis, is largely bravery – courage in escaping from old ideas and old standards and respectable ways of doing things."― James Robinson "I want to find the candidates who understand the principles of American exceptionalism and have the character, the courage, and the confidence to actually lead the greatest nation in the world."― Jim DeMint
