The reward of valour in war. [ Motto ]

Valour that parleys is near yielding. [ English Proverb, collected by George Herbert ]

True valour is fire, bullying is smoke. [ Proverb ]

Discretion
And hard valour are the twins of honour,
And, nursed together, make a conqueror;
Divided, but a talker. [ Beaumont and Fletcher ]

True valour knows as well how to suffer as to act. [ Proverb ]

Valour would fight, but discretion would run away. [ Proverb ]

Love's tongue proves dainty Bacchus gross in taste:
For valour, is not love a Hercules? [ William Shakespeare, Love's Labour's Lost, Act. IV. Sc. 3 ]

True valour lies in the middle between cowardice and rashness. [ Cervantes ]

Go on in new deeds of valour, my son! That is the way to the stars. [ Virgil ]

Mental courage, infinitely rarer than valour, presupposes the most eminent qualities. [ Diderot ]

The strong man is the wise man; the man with the gift of method, of faithfulness, of valour; who has insight into what is what, into what will follow out of what, the eye to see and the hand to do. [ Carlyle ]

We see a world of pains taken and the best years of life spent in collecting a set of thoughts in a college for the conduct of life, and after all the man so qualified shall hesitate in his speech to a good suit of clothes, and want commonsense before an agreeable woman. Hence it is that wisdom, valour, justice and learning cannot keep a man in countenance that is possessed with these excellencies, if he wants that inferior art of life and behaviour called good-breeding. [ Steele ]
