A Few Mark Twain quotes on the subject: "It is curious that physical courage should be so common in the world and moral courage so rare" "Courage is not the lack of fear. It is acting in spite of it" "No man's life, liberty, or property is safe while the legislature is in session" "Whenever you find you are on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect" "The radical of one century is the conservative of the next. The radical invents the views. When he has worn them out, the conservative adopts them"
