Imagine such a train at your own heels, Darsie, and ask yourself whether you would not exert your legs as fast as you did in flying from the Solway tide. And yet you impeach my father's courage. I tell you he has courage enough to do what is right, and to spurn what is wrong--courage enough to defend a righteous cause with hand and purse, and to take the part of the poor man against his oppressor, without fear of the consequences to himself. This is civil courage, Darsie; and it is of little consequence to most men in this age and country whether they ever possess military courage or no.英文原著 · 《Redgauntlet》
"My son," I answered, "that courage which prompts us to court death is but the courage of a moment, and is often excited by the vain applause of men, or by the hopes of posthumous renown. There is another description of courage, rarer and more necessary, which enables us to support, without witness and without applause, the vexations of life; this virtue is patience. Relying for support, not upon the opinions of others, or the impulse of the passions, but upon the will of God, patience is the courage of virtue."英文原著 · 《Paul and Virginia》

SIR ROBERT CHILTERN. Oh, I am sick of hearing that phrase. Sick of using it about others. Do you really think, Arthur, that it is weakness that yields to temptation? I tell you that there are terrible temptations that it requires strength, strength and courage, to yield to. To stake all one's life on a single moment, to risk everything on one throw, whether the stake be power or pleasure, I care not - there is no weakness in that. There is a horrible, a terrible courage. I had that courage.英文原著 · 《An Ideal Husband》
There is. And were you not saying just now, that some courage implied knowledge? I was. And you were speaking of courage and knowledge as two things different from one another? Certainly I was. And would you say that pleasure and knowledge are the same, or not the same? Not the same, O man of wisdom. And would you say that courage differed from pleasure?英文原著 · 《Gorgias》
