Gallantry Quotes

• No tenemos un gobierno armado con poder capaz de contender con las pasiones humanas desbocadas por la moral y la religión. La avaricia, la ambición, la venganza o la galantería romperían las cuerdas más fuertes de nuestra Constitución como una ballena atraviesa una red. Nuestra Constitución está diseñada sólo para un pueblo moral y religioso. Es totalmente inadecuada para cualquier otro.

• El escritor es el encargado de declarar y celebrar la demostrada capacidad del hombre para la grandeza de corazón y de espíritu, para la gallardía en la derrota, para el valor, la compasión y el amor. En la interminable guerra contra la debilidad y la desesperación, éstas son las brillantes banderas de la esperanza y la emulación. Sostengo que un escritor que no crea en la perfectibilidad del hombre no tiene dedicación ni pertenencia a la literatura.

  Eunice Tietjens

• If I cannot narrate a life of adventurous and daring exploits, fortunately I have no heavy crimes to confess: and, if I do not rise in the estimation of the reader for acts of gallantry and devotion in my country's cause, at least I may claim the merit of zealous and persevering continuance in my vocation. We are all of us variously gifted from Above, and he who is content to walk, instead of to run, on his allotted path through life, although he may not so rapidly attain the goal, has the advantage of not being out of breath upon his arrival.

• I have read that the secret of gallantry is to accept the pleasures of life leisurely, and its inconveniences with a shrug; as well as that, among other requisites, the gallant person will always consider the world with a smile of toleration, and his own doings with a smile of honest amusement, and Heaven with a smile which is not distrustful — being thoroughly persuaded that God is kindlier than the genteel would regard as rational.
