Fear is not in the habit of speaking truth.
Even the bravest men are frightened by sudden terrors.
Fear is not in the habit of speaking truth; when perfect sincerity is expected, perfect freedom must be allowed; nor has anyone who is apt to be angry when he hears the truth any cause to wonder that he does not hear it.
The brave and bold persist even against fortune; the timid and cowardly rush to despair though fear alone.
