Courage

«It takes more courage to reveal insecurities than to hide them, more strength to relate to people than to dominate them, more 'manhood' to abide by thought-out principles rather than blind reflex. Toughness is in the soul and spirit, not in muscles and an immature mind.»
«It is from numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human history is shaped. Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope.»
«It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.»
«If you wait to do everything until you're sure it's right, you'll probably never do much of anything.»
«It is courage, courage, courage, that raises the blood of life to crimson splendor. Live bravely and present a brave front to adversity.»
«It takes courage to know when you ought to be afraid.»
Author: James A. Michener | About: Courage, Fear
«In the world you will have trouble but take courage for I have conquered the world.»
Author: Jesus Christ | About: Courage, Faith, World
«It is not in giving life but in risking life that man is raised above the animal; that is why superiority has been accorded in humanity not to the sex that brings forth but to that which kills.»
«It is curious - curious that physical courage should be so common in the world, and moral courage so rare»
«It is impossible to put into words the quiet strength and incredible courage Dana Reeve demonstrated in the way she lived her life. With Chris, she gave voice to a movement to find life-saving cures and promote medical research, and when she lost her inspiration and love she didn?t stop the fight. Only days after Chris? death she continued to give hope to millions of Americans. She was an inspiration to me and to us all. Chris was America?s superhero, and Dana became our hero, too.»
