First thing every morning before you arise say out loud, ‘I believe,’ three times.

What is it that love does to a woman? Without she only sleeps; with it alone, she lives.

The burden which is well borne becomes light.

It is the poor man who’ll ever count his flock.

Blemishes are hid by night and every fault forgiven; darkness makes any woman fair.

I flee who chases me and chase who flees me.

Bear and endure: This sorrow will one day prove to be for your good.

It’s right to learn, even from the enemy.

Love is a thing that is full of cares and fears.

Let others praise ancient times; I am glad I was born in these.

Every lover is a soldier.

Love and dignity cannot share the same abode.

Give way to your opponent; thus will you gain the crown of victory.

Either do not attempt at all or go through with it.

My vengeance is my guilt.

Endure and persist; this pain will turn to good by and by.

Great crises produce great men, and great deeds of courage.

Women, who struggle and suffer pain to ensure the continuation of the human race, make much tougher and more courageous soldiers than all those big-mouthed freedom-fighting heroes put together!

Fear is a reaction. Courage is a decision.

All through my life, I have been tested. My will has been tested, my courage has been tested, my strength has been tested. Now my patience and endurance are being tested.

Political courage is not political suicide.

I can shake off everything as I write; my sorrows disappear, my courage is reborn.

Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one’s courage.

Character is a quality that embodies many important traits, such as integrity, courage, perseverance, confidence and wisdom.
