Courage

It is a blessed thing that in every age some one has had the individuality enough and courage enough to stand by his own convictions.

- Ingersoll, Robert Green

Best Quotes about Courage

Courage and modesty are the most unequivocal of virtues, for they are of a kind that hypocrisy cannot imitate; they too have this quality in common, that they are expressed by the same color.

Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

Physical courage, which engages all danger, will make a person brave in one way; and moral courage, which defies all opinion, will make a person brave in another.

Colton, Charles Caleb

Courage consists not in hazarding without fear; but being resolutely minded in a just cause.

Plutarch

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

The real acid test of courage is to be just your honest self when everybody is trying to be like somebody else.

Jensen, Andrew

Much of what we call evil is due entirely to the way men take the phenomenon. It can so often be converted into a bracing and tonic good by a simple change of the sufferer's inner attitude from one of fear to one of fight; its string can so often depart and turn into a relish when, after vainly seeking to shun it, we agree to face about and bear it...

James, William

No more turning away from the weak and the weary. No more turning away from the coldness inside. Just a world that we all must share. It's not enough just to stand and stare. Is it only a dream that there'll be no more turning away.

Gilmore, David

In fighting and in everyday life you should be determined though calm. Meet the situation without tenseness yet not recklessly, your spirit settled yet unbiased. An elevated spirit is weak and a low spirit is weak. Do not let the enemy see your spirit.

Musashi, Miyamoto

Be larger than your task.

Marden, Orison Swett

10.

I thought ten thousand swords must have leaped from their scabbards to avenge even a look that threatened her with insult. But the age of chivalry is gone. That of sophists, economists and calculators has succeeded; and the glory of Europe is gone forever.

Burke, Edmund

11.

We need to find the courage to say NO to the things and people that are not serving us if we want to rediscover ourselves and live our lives with authenticity.

Angelis, Barbara De

12.

It takes vision and courage to create -- it takes faith and courage to prove.

Young, Owen D.

13.

But screw your courage to the sticking-place and we'll not fail.

Shakespeare, William

14.

What would life be if we had no courage to attempt anything?

Gogh, Vincent Van

15.

Most of us have far more courage than we ever dreamed we possessed.

Carnegie, Dale

16.

I'd rather give my life than be afraid to give it.

Johnson, Lyndon B.

17.

Half a man's wisdom goes with his courage.

Emerson, Ralph Waldo

18.

Courage enlarges, cowardice diminishes resources. In desperate straits the fears of the timid aggravate the dangers that imperil the brave.

Bovee, Christian Nevell

19.

I am convinced that one of the biggest factors in success is the courage to undertake something.

Worsham, James A.

20.

Courage is a quality so necessary for maintaining virtue, that it is always respected, even when it is associated with vice.

Johnson, Samuel

21.

It takes a certain courage and a certain greatness to be truly base.

Anouilh, Jean

22.

The world's male chivalry has perished out, but women are knights-errant to the last; and, if Cervantes had been greater still, he had made his Don a Donna.

Browning, Elizabeth Barrett

23.

Courage and perseverance have a magical talisman, before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish into air.

John Quincy Adams

24.

The courage of life is often a less dramatic spectacle than the courage of the final moment; but it is no less a magnificent mixture of triumph and tragedy.

Kennedy, John F.

25.

The strangest, most generous, and proudest of all virtues is true courage.

Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

26.

To have courage for whatever comes in life -- everything lies in that.

Teresa of Avila, St.

27.

Fortune helps the brave.

Terence

28.

Life only demands from you the strength that you possess. Only one feat is possible; not to run away.

Hammarskjold, Dag

29.

It's better to be a lion for a day, than a sheep all your life.

Kenny, Sister Elizabeth

30.

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

Twain, Mark

31.

It is easy to fly into a passion... anybody can do that, but to be angry with the right person to the right extent and at the right time and in the right way that is not easy.

Aristotle

32.

Grant what thou commandest and then command what thou wilt.

Augustine, St.

33.

You are under the unfortunate delusion that simply because you run away from danger, you have no courage. You're confusing courage with wisdom.

34.

I've been through it all, baby. I'm Mother Courage.

Taylor, Elizabeth

35.

Courage is an everyday thing. When we look reality squarely in the eye and refuse to back away from our awareness, we are living courage.

36.

The brave person thinks of themselves last of all.

Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von

37.

Woman and men of retiring timidity are cowardly only in dangers which affect themselves, but the first to rescue when others are in danger.

Richter, Jean Paul

38.

Nothing splendid has ever been achieved except by those who dared believe that something inside them was superior to circumstance.

Barton, Bruce

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

Cicero
