Much danger makes great hearts most resolute.—­Marston.

Courage consists not in blindly overlooking danger, but in seeing it and conquering it.—­Richter.

The truest courage is always mixed with circumspection; this being the quality which distinguishes the courage of the wise from the hardiness of the rash and foolish.—­Jones of NAYLAND.

Physical courage, which despises all danger, will make a man brave in one way; and moral courage, which despises all opinion, will make a man brave in another.  The former would seem most necessary for the camp, the latter for council; but to constitute a great man, both are necessary.—­Colton.

He who loses wealth loses much; he who loses a friend loses more; but he that loses his courage loses all.—­Cervantes.

Courtship.—­Every man ought to be in love a few times in his life, and to have a smart attack of the fever.  You are better for it when it is over:  the better for your misfortune, if you endure it with a manly heart; how much the better for success, if you win it and a good wife into the bargain!—­Thackeray.

With women worth the being won,
The softest lover ever best succeeds. 
—­Hill.

The pleasantest part of a man’s life is generally that which passes in courtship, provided his passion be sincere, and the party beloved kind with discretion.  Love, desire, hope, all the pleasing emotions of the soul, rise in the pursuit.—­Addison.

How would that excellent mystery, wedded life, irradiate the world with its blessed influences, were the generous impulses and sentiments of courtship but perpetuated in all their exuberant fullness during the sequel of marriage!—­Frederic Saunders.

Rejected lovers need never despair!  There are four-and-twenty hours in a day, and not a moment in the twenty-four in which a woman may not change her mind.—­De FINOD.

Courtship consists in a number of quiet attentions, not so pointed as to alarm, nor so vague as not to be understood.—­Sterne.

Covetousness.—­Covetousness, like a candle ill made, smothers the splendor of a happy fortune in its own grease.—­F.  Osborn.

The only instance of a despairing sinner left upon record in the New Testament is that of a treacherous and greedy Judas.

He deservedly loses his own property who covets that of another.  —­Phaedrus.

Covetousness, which is idolatry.—­Colossians 3:5.
