Courage

Facing fear with intelligence and resolve

Courage is not the absence of fear, but the judgment that something else is more important than fear.

It's not the mountain we conquer but ourselves.

Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage.

He who jumps into the void owes no explanation to those who stand and watch.

Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear - not absence of fear.

It's better to be a restrained monster than a well-behaved coward.

Courage is doing what you are afraid to do. There can be no courage unless you are scared.

Do one thing that scares you everyday.

The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.

Courage is the price that life exacts for granting peace.

Sometimes the most courageous act is to think for yourself aloud.

You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face.

Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying 'I will try again tomorrow.'

The opposite of courage is not cowardice, it is conformity.

Real courage is when you know you're licked before you begin, but you begin anyway and see it through no matter what.

Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.

One isn't necessarily born with courage, but one is born with potential. Without courage, we cannot practice any other virtue with consistency.

The courage to be is the courage to accept oneself, in spite of being unacceptable.

Fear is the cheapest room in the house. I would like to see you living in better conditions.

Courage is found in unlikely places. There's neither reward nor punishment in how we live, only consequences.

Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.

The most courageous act is still to think for yourself. Aloud.

Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.

Courage is grace under pressure.

You cannot swim for new horizons until you have courage to lose sight of the shore.

The secret to happiness is freedom... and the secret to freedom is courage.

Courage is the first of human qualities because it is the quality which guarantees all others.
