Quote

Creativity takes courage.

To create one's world in any of the arts takes courage.

Courage is found in unlikely places.

It is curious that physical courage should be so common in the world and moral courage so rare.

Someone once told me the one thread that runs through them all is a premium on personal courage - not intellectual courage, but just plain physical courage.

Courage is simply the willingness to be afraid and act anyway.

I have reached the conclusion that those who have physical courage also have moral courage. Physical courage is a great test.

Courage is the art of being the only one who knows you're scared to death.

The opposite for courage is not cowardice, it is conformity. Even a dead fish can go with the flow.

In acting, there's a type of courage you're recognized for all the time. You lose 100 pounds and play a guy with AIDS, and you get rewarded. But, in life, doing what is courageous is quiet, and no one knows about it. Courage is someone making sacrifices for their family or making selfless decisions for what they hope or feel.
