More From John Dryden

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
Man little knows what calamities are beyond his patience to bear till he tries them; as in ascending the heights of ambition, which look bright from below, every step we rise shows us some new and gloomy prospect of hidden disappointment; so in our descent from the summits of pleasure, though the vale of misery below may appear, at first, dark and gloomy, yet the busy mind, still attentive to its own amusement, finds, as we descend, something to flatter and to please. still as we approach, the darkest objects appear to brighten, and the mortal eye becomes adapted to its gloomy situation.

Resolved, that i will do whatsoever i think to be most to god’s glory, and my own good, profit and pleasure, in the whole of my duration, without any consideration of the time, whether now, or never so many myriad’s of ages hence. resolved to do whatever i think to be my duty and most for the good and advantage of mankind in general. resolved to do this, whatever difficulties i meet with, how many and how great soever.

Eric called al's suicide brave, and he was wrong. my mother's death was brave. i remember how calm she was, how determined. it isn't just brave that she died for me; it is brave that she did it without announcing it, without hesitation, and without appearing to consider another option.
Mother Suicide Brave
Somewhere in the center of my soul, a rusty chain began to unwind. it freed itself, link by link, from where it had rested, unobserved, waiting for him. my hands, which had been balled up and pressed against his chest, unfurled with it. the chain continued to drop, to an unfathomable depth where there was nothing but darkness and matthew. at last it snapped to its full length, anchoring me to a vampire. despite the manuscript, despite the fact that my hands contained enough voltage to run a microwave, and despite the photograph, as long as i was connected to him, i was safe.

Todd? are you still there?" "yeah. i'm just trying to think of a good reason to continue our friendship." i grinned. "jealousy is so unattractive todd." "it would help if you could tell me one thing that's wrong. one flaw. bad breath? warts? some condition that requires anti fungal spray?" "would chest hair be a flaw?" "oh, yeah." todd sounded relieved." i can't stand a chest rug. you can't see the chest cut.

There is a difficulty about disagreeing with god. he is the source from which all your reasoning power comes: you could not be right and he wrong any more than a stream can rise higher than its own source. when you are arguing against him you are arguing against the very power that makes you able to argue at all: it is like cutting off the branch you are sitting on.
