Quote

We must have courage to bet on our ideas, to take the calculated risk, and to act. Everyday living requires courage if life is to be effective and bring happiness.

Either life entails courage, or it ceases to be life.

There can be no great courage where there is no confidence or assurance, and half the battle is in the conviction that we can do what we undertake.

The courage we desire and prize is not the courage to die decently, but to live manfully.

I think on some level, that's a fear that exists in everybody, that if we're tested, we won't make the courageous choice. We won't make the decision that would make us heroic. We make the decision that would reveal us to be all too human.

It is my deepest belief that only by giving our lives do we find life. I am convinced that the truest act of courage, the strongest act of manliness is to sacrifice ourselves for others in a totally non-violent struggle for justice.

Perfect courage is to do without witnesses what one would be capable of doing with the world looking on.

Efforts and courage are not enough without purpose and direction.

Courage is like love; it must have hope for nourishment.

If you could get up the courage to begin, you have the courage to succeed.
