Courage Flashcards
Bravest Man
‘It was times like these when I thought my father, who hated guns and had never been to any wars, was the bravest man who ever lived.’
Real Courage
‘I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand.’ …. ‘You rarely win, but sometimes you do. Mrs Dubose won’
Beholden
‘According to her views, she died beholden to nothing and nobody. She was the bravest person I ever knew.’
Unpleasant Jobs
‘there are some men in this world who were born to do our unpleasant jobs for us. You father’s one of them.’
Men like Atticus
‘We’re so rarely called on to be Christians, but when we are, we’ve got men like Atticus to go for us.’
Beating
‘So if spitting in my face and threatening me saved Mayella Ewell one extra beating, that’s something I’ll gladly tale.’
Secret Jury
‘A jury’s vote’s supposed to be secret. Serving on a jury forces a man to make up his own mind and declare himself about something. Men don’t like to do that. Sometimes it’s unpleasant.’
Skunk
‘Low-down skunk with enough liquor in him to make him brave enough to kill children. He’s never have met you face to face.’
