“Life is to be entered upon with courage.” — Alexis de Tocqueville Quote

“Life is to be entered upon with courage.”

“In a revolution, as in a novel, the most difficult part to invent is the end.”

“The surface of American society is covered with a layer of democratic paint, but from time to time one can see the old aristocratic colours breaking through.”

“Valor grows by daring, fear by holding back.”

“Courage is... the knowledge of how to fear what ought to be feared and how not to fear what ought not to be feared.”

“Sometimes even to live is an act of courage.”
