All the men I've ever got to my feet for or called sir had been in the war.

This is our high calling, to represent Christ, and act in His behalf, and in His character and spirit, under all circumstances and toward all men.
Ale, man, ale's the stuff to drink for fellows whom it hurts to think.
What a brave privilege is it to be free from all contentions, from all envying or being envied, from receiving or paying all kinds of ceremonies!
I'm brave to say that I won't take this sort of risk.
It will take a brave person to cull the benefits system and analyse who deserves and who doesn't.
To swear is neither brave, polite, nor wise.
