Best Quotes about Courage

Do not fear, for those who are with us, are more than those who are with them. [2 Kings 6:16]

Bible

Courage is not simply one of the virtues but the form of every virtue at the testing point, which means at the point of highest reality.

Lewis, C. S.

There are times to cultivate and create, when you nurture your world and give birth to new ideas and ventures. There are times of flourishing and abundance, when life feels in full bloom, energized and expanding. And there are times of fruition, when things come to an end. They have reached their climax and must be harvested before they begin to fade. And finally of course, there are times that are cold, and cutting and empty, times when the spring of new beginnings seems like a distant dream. Those rhythms in life are natural events. They weave into one another as day follows night, bringing, not messages of hope and fear, but messages of how things are.

Trungpa, Chogyam
