It is
better to die on your feet
than live on your knees.

It
is not those who commit the least faults who are the
most holy, but those who have the greatest courage, the
greatest generosity, the greatest love, who make the boldest
efforts to overcome themselves, and are not immediately
apprehensive about tripping.
Francis
de Sales

The brave
person is not one who feels
no fear,
For that were stupid and
irrational;
But one, whose noble soul
its fear subdues,
And bravely dares
the danger nature shrinks from.
Joanna Baillie
Courage is the price
that life extracts for granting peace. The soul
that knows it not, knows no release from little things.

Courage is a kind
of salvation.
Plato |
| |
Because
a person has failed once or twice or a dozen times,
you
don't want to set that person down as a failure
till he or she's dead or
loses their courage--and that's the same thing.
George Horace Lorimer |
| |
The world is not perishing for the want of
clever or talented or well-meaning people.
It is perishing
for the want of people of courage and resolution.
Robert J. McCracken |
Courage
is doing what you're afraid to do. There can be no
courage
unless you're scared.
Eddie Rickenbacker |
|
| |
|
Courage is required not only in a
person's occasional crucial decision for one's own freedom,
but in the little hour-to-hour decisions which place the
bricks
in the structure of his building of oneself into a
person
who acts with freedom and responsibility.

Courage
is a quality so necessary for maintaining virtue
that it is always respected, even when it is
associated with vice.

Samuel
Johnson |

|
|
| |
|
Courage is what preserves our
liberty, safety, life, and our homes and parents,
our
country and children. Courage comprises all things.
Plautus |
| |
|
Dare to begin! One who postpones living
rightly is like the rustic who waits for the river to run
out before he crosses.
Horace
|
We
need the courage to start
and continue what we
should do, and courage to stop what we shouldn't
do.
Richard

Great things are done
more through courage than through wisdom.

You will never do anything in this
world without courage.

God grant me the courage not to give up
what
I think is right,
even though I think it is hopeless.
Admiral Chester W. Nimitz |

Greatness,
in the last analysis, is largely bravery--courage in
escaping from
old ideas and old standards.
James Harvey Robinson |
 |
|

|
| |
|
Courage takes many
forms. There is physical courage, there is moral courage.
Then there is a still higher type of courage--the courage to brave
pain,
to live with it, to never let others know of it and to still find joy
in life;
to wake up in the morning with an enthusiasm for the day ahead.
Howard Cosell |
| |
It
is from numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human
history is shaped.
Each time a person stands up for an ideal or strikes out
against injustice, he or she sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and
crossing
each other from a million different centers of energy and daring those
ripples build a current which can sweep down
the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.
Robert F. Kennedy |
| |
|
There is a quiet courage that comes from an
inward spring of confidence
in the meaning and significance of life.
Such courage is an underground river,
flowing far beneath the shifting events of one’s experience,
keeping alive a thousand little springs of action.
Howard Thurman |

You can’t be brave if you’ve only had
wonderful things happen to you.
Mary Tyler Moore |

What
would life be if we had no courage to attempt anything?
Vincent van Gogh |
| |
|
|
| |
|
The
more you surrender to the fear of someone’s disapproval, the more
you lose face in your own eyes, and the more desperate you become for
someone’s approval. Within
you is a void that should have been filled by
self-esteem. When you
attempt to fill it with the approval of others instead,
the void grows deeper and the hunger for acceptance and approval grows
stronger. The only
solution is to summon the courage to honor your own
judgment, frightening though that may be in the beginning.
Nathaniel
Branden |

One
of the most courageous things you can do is identify yourself,
know who you are, what you believe in and where you want to go.
