Bravery idioms
|
Hi, can anyone think of idioms relating to bravery? All i can come up with is "to take the bull by the horns".
Thanks!

I can just think of a proverb :
Nothing ventured, nothing gained. |

Dear Colibrita,
"Nothing venture, nothing win!"
"Faint heart never won fair lady!"
"None but the brave deserve the fair!"
"Fortune favours the brave!"
"Have the courage of your convictions!"

I just got a book on idioms and famous quotes...It mainly gives ideas on how to make up your own and still sound authentic...Might be a nice exercise :0
I like: "Only a thin line seperates between bravery and stupidity." |

If you google "bravery quotes" you may find what you need.

Thanks Dora, I did google, it �s always my first port of call, but i was getting nowhere fast. And am a bit strapped for time... Unfortunately I get idioms which include the words brave or courage which is not what I �m after. They need to be less "obvious" as I �m preparing an exercise on idioms. I guess I should have explained myself more clearly from the get-go...
something like "nerves of steel" would do, though. "balls" comes to mind, but I �m not quite sure I can use that!! : )
