Danger past, God forgotten. – Proverb

One ought never to turn ones back on a threatened danger and try to run away from it. If you do that, you will double the danger. But if you meet it promptly and without flinching, you will reduce the danger by half. Never run away from anything. Never! – Ralph Waldo Emerson

Nothing is so exhilarating in life as to be shot at with no result. – Sir Winston Churchill
