The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.
NELSON MANDELA, Autobiography
- Cowards die many times before their deaths
- The valiant never taste of death but once.
WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE, Julius Caesar
Courage is contagious. When a brave man takes a stand, the spines of others are often stiffened.
BILLY GRAHAM, Reader's Digest, Jul. 1964
One man with courage makes a majority.
Until the day of his death, no man can be sure of his courage.
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. It's when you know you're licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what.
HARPER LEE, To Kill a Mockingbird
Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage.
ANAIS NIN, The Diary of Anais Nin
It sometimes requires courage to fly from danger.
MARIA EDGEWORTH, Mademoiselle Panache
Often the test of courage is not to die but to live.
It requires more courage to suffer than to die.
There is no living thing that is not afraid when it faces danger. The true courage is in facing danger when you are afraid.
L. FRANK BAUM, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz
Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear -- not absence of fear.
MARK TWAIN, The Tragedy of Pudd'nhead Wilson
Unless you have courage, a courage that keeps you going, always going, no matter what happens, there is no certainty of success. It is really an endurance race.
HENRY FORD, Theosophist Magazine, Feb. 1930
'Tis not too late to-morrow to be brave.
JOHN ARMSTRONG, The Art of Preserving Health
Courage is the thing. All goes if courage goes.
J.M. BARRIE, speech, May 3, 1922
Courage is worthy of respect when displayed in the maintenance of legitimate claims and in the repelling of aggressions, bodily or other. Courage is worthy of yet higher respect when danger is faced in defence of claims common to self and others, as in resistance to invasion. Courage is worthy of the highest respect when risk to life or limb is dared in defence of others.
HERBERT SPENCER, The Study of Sociology
Fortune favors the brave.
