Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage.
Courage is nine-tenths context. What is courageous in one setting can be foolhardy in another and even cowardly in a third.
Courage is not limited to the battlefield or the Indianapolis 500 or bravely catching a thief in your house. The real tests of courage are much quieter. They are the inner tests, like remaining faithful when nobody's looking, like enduring pain when the room is empty, like standing alone when you're misunderstood.
It takes more courage to reveal insecurities than to hide them, more strength to relate to people then 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.
Valor grows by daring, fear by holding back.
When we least expect it, life sets us a challenge to test our courage and willingness to change.
The challenge will not wait. Life does not look back. A week is more than enough time for us to decide whether or not to accept our destiny.
Courage is not the absence of fear; it is the absence of self.
Your playing small doesn't serve the world.
Courage is not the absence of fear — it s inspiring others to move beyond it.
It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to our enemies, but just as much to stand up to our friends.
He who has overcome his fears will truly be free.
Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear, not absence of fear.
Courage is the price that life exacts for granting peace.
Courage is the first of human qualities because it is the quality which guarantees the others.
It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are.
A timid person is frightened before a danger, a coward during the time, and a courageous person afterward.
Courage is being afraid but going on anyhow.
I have not ceased being fearful, but I have ceased to let fear control me.
Courage is not the absence of fear, but the mastery of it.
Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.
I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand.
Courage is more exhilarating than fear and in the long run it is easier. We do not have to become heroes over night. Just a step at a time, meeting each thing that comes up, seeing it is not as dreadful as it appeared, discovering we have the strength to stare it down.
True courage is not the brutal force of vulgar heroes, but the firm resolve of virtue and reason.
Courage faces fear and thereby masters it
