"Dans cet etat affreux, que faire? . . . Mon devoir." Victoire courageously proceeded to Madame de Fleury's, and desired to see her. "D'abord c'est impossible madame is dressing to go to a concert," said Francois. "Cannot you leave your message?"
Rumor got hold of you first on the South Side, and had it that you were experimenting with some small contractor. The explosion which followed reached me even in Vienna. Did you feel that you could go farther, or did you courageously run the risk of wrecking him then instead of wrecking yourself and him later?
The youth blushed, and, bowing, presented his sword, which was received and as directly returned. "Brave sir," said Thaddeus, "I consider myself ennobled in restoring this weapon to him who has so courageously defended it." The Russian made no reply but by a second bow, and put his hand on his breast, which seemed wet with blood. Ceremony was now at an end.
Unhampered by modern conceptions of public duty, undeterred by the hostility of powerful opponents, with eyes fixed upon the combination and control of a great transportation system, Vanderbilt entered courageously upon bitter struggles for supremacy which involved the misuse of the courts, the control of the New York state legislature and a thousand charges of corrupt influence and bribery, but he welded railroads together, replaced wood and iron with steel, and constructed tracks and terminals.
"A poor joke, lass!" he observed, with the laugh dead in his throat. "It isn't a poor joke," said she. "It isn't a joke at all." "Didst thou seriously think as I should buy that there barracks to please thee?" "Certainly," she said, courageously. "Just that to please me." "I'm right enough where I am," he asserted, grimly.

He went through with it like the solid citizen he was: admitted the evils of tobacco, courageously made resolves, laid out plans to check the vice, tapered off his allowance of cigars, and expounded the pleasures of virtuousness to every one he met. He did everything, in fact, except stop smoking.
Myriads and myriads of men and women are no more than this no more than midges or ants or worms; but every now and then in the course of centuries, one man does stand forth from the million, one heart does beat courageously enough to send the firm echo of its pulsations through a long vista of time, one soul does so exalt and inspire the rest of the world by its great example that we are, through its force reminded of something divine, something high and true in a low wilderness of shams!"
He is selfish, heartless, cruel, disloyal, lazy, and nasty. He has hurt me terribly, but I'll get even. I'm going to make him suffer the way he's made me suffer. I'll show him that he can't do that to me!" One may grapple courageously. This means to look the situation squarely in the face, to study it calmly, open-mindedly, and thoroughly.
He appeared to be in search of some one or of something; his brilliant eyes roved everywhere; he had a noble little head, and carried himself courageously. He gave no evidence of fear or sadness at his isolated position but ran right on, for he was running when I saw him, as if he had gone forth upon some happy, childish errand.
It can, however, be easily proven that there has always been a great deal of secret murmuring and complaining against the clergy throughout the world, and that they are not treating Christendom properly. And the papal asses have courageously withstood such complaining with fire and sword, even to the present day.
