Quote by Sir Philip Sidney

A true knight is fuller of bravery in the midst, than in the beginning of danger.

A true knight is fuller of bravery in the midst, than in the

Summary

This quote emphasizes that true bravery is not just displayed when one faces the initial stages of danger, but rather when they continue to exhibit courage and fearlessness in the very midst of it. It suggests that a person's true character is revealed when they confront adversity head-on, instead of merely being courageous at the outset. In other words, it implies that it is easy to start a brave act, but it takes genuine bravery and resilience to sustain it in the face of ongoing challenges or threats.

Ethically they had arrived at the conclusion that man's supremacy over lower animals meant not that the former should prey upon the latter, but that the higher should protect the lower, and that there should be mutual aid between the two as between man and man. They had also brought out the truth that man eats not for enjoyment but to live.

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,When the funds are low and the debts are highAnd you want to smile, but you have to sigh,When care is pressing you down a bit,Rest! If you must-but never quit.Life is queer, with its twists and turns,As every one of us sometimes learns,And many a failure turns aboutWhen he might of won if he'd stuck it out;Stick to your task, though the pace seems slows-You may succeed with one more blow.Success is failure turned inside out-The silver tint of the clouds of doubt-And you may never can tell how close you are,It may be near when it seems afar;So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit-It's when things seem worse that YOU MUSN'T QUIT.
