Courage is the very best gift of all; courage stands before everything, it does, it does! It is what maintains and preserves our liberty, safety, life, and our homes and parents, our country and children. Courage comprises all things: a man with courage has every blessing. — 648 (Tr. Paul Nixon) — Cp. Winston Churchill, in Collier's (27 June 1931), p. 49: "Courage is rightly esteemed the first of human qualities, because, as has been said, it is the quality which guarantees all others."
