More From Michel De Montaigne

There are no brave men and cowardly men in the world, my son. there are only brave men. to be born, to live, to die—that takes courage enough in itself, and more than enough. we are all brave men and we are all afraid, and what the world calls a brave man, he too is brave and afraid like the all rest of us. only he is brave for five minutes longer.
Courage Son Men
The coward dies a thousand deaths, the brave but one'.... (the man who first said that) was probably a coward.... he knew a great deal about cowards but nothing about the brave. the brave dies perhaps two thousand deaths if he's intelligent. he simply doesn't mention them.
Intelligent Men Two
Unethical conduct is actually the conduct of destruction and fear; lies are told because one is afraid of the consequences should one tell the truth; thus, the liar is inevitably a coward, the coward is inevitably a liar.
Lying Liars Coward
A liar goes in fine clothes, a liar goes in rags, a liar is a liar, clothes or no clothes.
Liars Lying Clothes
I came to believe it not true that "the coward dies a thousand deaths, the brave man only one." i think it is the other way around: it is the brave who die a thousand deaths. for it is imagination, and not just conscience, which doth make cowards of us all. those who do not know fear are not truly brave.
Believe Men Thinking
Each man must not think only of himself, but also of his buddy fighting beside him. we don't want yellow cowards in this army. they should be killed off like rats. if not, they will go home after this war and breed more cowards. the brave men will breed more brave men. kill off the goddamned cowards and we will have a nation of brave men.

We had to struggle with the old enemies of peace - business and financial monopoly, speculation, reckless banking, class antagonism, sectionalism, war profiteering. they had begun to consider the government of the united states as a mere appendage to their own affairs. we know now that government by organized money is just as dangerous as government by organized mob. never before in all our history have these forces been so united against one candidate as they stand today. they are unanimous in their hate for me - and i welcome their hatred.
