' But his speech is of no avail, for the attack waxed ever stronger" ."Those who were near king Henry did their duty like men; for he had before entreated of them to behave courageously. He himself set the example, and performed such valorous acts as gave courage to all around him.

As early as 1491, the Archdeacon of Malabar sent envoys to the Syriac Orthodox Patriarch of Antioch as part of an effort to receive a bishop for his bishopless province.Baum, p. 105. In the end nothing came of the request, and the Patriarch of Antioch eventually sent a new bishop. In 1653, a group of Saint Thomas Christians disaffected by Portuguese colonial rule and the drowning of delegate from the Patriarchate of Antioch (Ahatallah) joined Archdeacon Thomas and Anjilimoottil Ittythomman Kathanar (a priest from the Knanaya Christians), who gave courage to the Archdeacon, in vowing not to submit to Portuguese authority.

Hermann Leopoldi memorial (Vienna, Schönbrunner Straße 219) Hermann Leopoldi (born Hersch Kohn; 15 August 1888 - 28 June 1959) was an Austrian composer and cabaret star who survived Buchenwald. Einzi Stolz, wife of composer Robert Stolz, remembered him thus: :"Leopoldi was for us all some sort of creature from a different planet. Through a salvation bordering on a wonder he had survived the horrors of concentration camps Buchenwald and Dachau. He maintained his belief in the good in humanity and remained an optimist, who gave courage and confidence to many in times of difficulty."’’Hermann Leopoldi and Helly Möslein.

The soundtrack for Super Fly is regarded as an all-time great body of work that captured the essence of life in the ghetto while criticizing the tendency of young people to glorify the "glamorous" lifestyles of drug dealers and pimps, and illuminating the dark realities of drugs, addiction, and exploitation. Mayfield, along with several other soul and funk musicians, spread messages of hope in the face of oppression, pride in being a member of the black race and gave courage to a generation of people who were demanding their human rights. He has been compared to Martin Luther King Jr. for making a lasting impact in the civil rights struggle with his inspirational music. By the end of the decade Mayfield was a pioneering voice in the black pride movement, along with James Brown and Sly Stone.

Decorated with a Gold Medal of Military Valour. «Young bride and mother, between massacres and persecutions, while German and Fascist anger raged on the Maremma coast, she did not give rest to her body nor did she bend her will as a rescuer, animator, fighter and martyr. She gave the victims the forbidden burial, provided hospitality to the fugitives, freedom and salvation to the prisoners, munitions and food to the partisans and in the days of terror, when fear closed all doors and made the streets deserted, with an intrepid pity she gave courage to fearful people and increased confidence to the strongest ones. On the night of June 22nd, brought out of her home, tortured by the ferocious bestiality of her executioners, she died, a sublime offering to the Fatherland, a generous soul.» – Massa Marittima, June 1944.
