Best Quotes about Courage

Aristotle

Syrus, Publilius

Live as brave men; and if fortune is adverse, front its blows with brave hearts.

Cicero

The acorn becomes an oak by means of automatic growth; no commitment is necessary. The kitten similarly becomes a cat on the basis of instinct. Nature and being are identical in creatures like them. But a man or woman becomes fully human only by his or her choices and his or her commitment to them. People attain worth and dignity by the multitude of decisions they make from day by day. These decisions require courage.

May, Rollo
