Thus shall he prosper, every day's success Adding, to what is he, a solid strength - An aery might to what encircles him, Till at the last, so life's routine lends help, That as the Emperor only breathes and moves, His shadow shall be watched, his step or stalk Become a comfort or a portent, how He trails his ermine take significance, - Till even his power shall cease to be most power, And men shall dread his weakness more, nor dare Peril their earth its bravest, first and best, Its typified invincibility. View quote

The bravest person I've ever met was a young boy going through massive amounts of treatment for a very rare, complex and unpleasant disease.
