Have courage for the great sorrows of life and patience for the small ones; and when you have laboriously accomplished your daily task, go to sleep in peace. - Victor Hugo
Courage stands halfway between cowardice and rashness, one of which is a lack, the other an excess of courage.
Courage is an inner resolution to go forward despite obstacles; Cowardice is submissive surrender to circumstances. Courage breeds creativity; Cowardice represses fear and is mastered by it. Cowardice asks the question, is it safe? Expediency asks the question, is it politic? Vanity asks the question, is it popular? But conscience ask the question, is it right? And there comes a time when we must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but one must take it because it is right. - Martin Luther King Jr
No sane man is unafraid in battle, but discipline produces in him a form of vicarious courage. - George S Patton
If we take the generally accepted definition of bravery as a quality which knows no fear, I have never seen a brave man. All men are frightened. The more intelligent they are, the more they are frightened. - George S Patton
Courage is not simply one of the virtues, but the form of every virtue at the testing point. - C.S. Lewis
Courage is rightly esteemed the first of human qualities because it has been said, it is the quality which guarantees all others.
