Courage, the highest gift, that scorns to bend To mean devices for a sordid end. Courage–an independent spark from Heaven’s bright throne, By which the soul stands raised, triumphant high, alone. Great in itself, not praises of the crowd, Above all vice, it stoops not to be proud. Courage, the mighty attribute of powers above, By which those great in war, are great in love. The spring of all brave acts is seated here, As falsehoods draw their sordid birth from fear. – George Farguhar

A coward turns away, but a brave man’s choice is danger. – Euripides

Courage is almost a contradiction in terms: it means a strong desire to live taking the form of readiness to die. — Gilbert Chesterton

Brotherhood is the very price and condition of man’s survival. – Carlos Romulo

No one’s death comes to pass without making some impression, and those close to the deceased inherit part of the liberated soul and become richer in their humanness. — Hermann Broch

What we have done for ourselves alone dies with us; what we have done for others and the world remains and is immortal. – Albert Pike

In this world it is not what we take up, but what we give up, that makes us rich.  – Henry  Beecher
These men may not be well known for what they have done to the nation. To the families who lost them and to the family of the man they saved, they will never be forgotten.
