Best Quotes about Courage
Write on your doors the saying wise and old. Be bold! and everywhere -- Be bold; Be not too bold! Yet better the excess Than the defect; better the more than less sustaineth him and the steadiness of his mind beareth him out.
Longfellow, Henry Wadsworth
To love someone deeply gives you strength. Being loved by someone deeply gives you courage.
Lao-Tzu
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
Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid... for the Lord thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.
Deuteronomy
Courage leads to heaven; fear leads to death.
Seneca
Fortune can take away riches, but not courage.
Seneca
I think of those who were truly great. The names of those who in their lives fought for life, Who wore at their hearts the fire's center.
Spender, Stephen
A true knight is fuller of bravery in the midst, than in the beginning of danger.
Sidney, Sir Philip
Moral courage is a more rare commodity than bravery in battle or great intelligence.
Kennedy, Robert F.
It is curious that physical courage should be so common in the world and moral courage so rare.
Mark Twain
Let us train our minds to desire what the situation demands.
Seneca
There is another side to chivalry. If it dispenses leniency, it may with equal justification invoke control.
Adler, Freda
It takes courage to push yourself to places that you have never been before... to test your limits... to break through barriers. And the day came when the risk it took to remain tight inside the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.
Nin, Anais
You are under the unfortunate delusion that simply because you run away from danger, you have no courage. You're confusing courage with wisdom.
Most men have more courage than even they themselves think they have.
Greville, Lord
Courage is a special kind of knowledge: the knowledge of how to fear what ought to be feared and how not to fear what ought no to be feared.
Ben-Gurion, David
It takes vision and courage to create -- it takes faith and courage to prove.
Young, Owen D.
I decided once and for all that I was going to make it or die.
Johnson, John
A strong man and a waterfall always channel their own path.
No man in the world has more courage than the man who can stop after eating one peanut.
Pollock, Channing
Life becomes real only when we begin to face and solve our own problems. Until then we only swim in circles in a large fantasy world which tends to make us very tired of living. Don't waste energy! Face life now!
Courage is spelled I-N-T-E-G-R-I-T-Y.
Schuller, Robert H.
Last, but by no means least, courage-moral courage, the courage of one's convictions, the courage to see things through. The world ;is in a constant conspiracy against the brave. It's the age-old struggle-the roar of the crowd on one side and the voice of your ;conscience on the other.
Macarthur, Douglas
Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear -- not absence of fear.
Twain, Mark
It is amidst great perils we see brave hearts.
Regnard, Jean Francois
No fact of human nature is more characteristic that its willingness to live on a chance.
Give us the fortitude to endure the things which cannot be changed, and the courage to change the things which should be changed, ;and the wisdom to know one from the other.
Hart, Oliver J.
To put it boldly, it is the attempt at a posterior reconstruction of existence by the process of conceptualization.
Einstein, Albert
Quit thinking that you must halt before the barrier of inner negativity. You need not. You can crash through whatever we see a negative state, that is where we can destroy it.
Howard, Vernon
A person who walks in another's tracks leaves no footprints.
Wealth lost is something lost, honor lost is something lost: Courage lost all is lost.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
The more wit the less courage.
Fuller, Thomas
The pressure of adversity does not affect the mind of the brave man. It is more powerful than external circumstances.
Seneca
Courage is like love; it must have hope to nourish it.
Bonaparte, Napoleon
We must build dikes of courage to hold back the flood of fear.
King Jr. Martin Luther
A man not perfect, but of heart so high, of such heroic rage, That even his hopes became a part of earth's eternal heritage.
Gilder, Richard Watson
Father, may these people have the vision to see, the faith to accept the truth, the courage to stand by that which they know is right.
Because of a great love, one is courageous.
Lao-Tzu
Keep courage. Whatever you do, do not feel sorry for yourself. You will win in a great age of opportunity.
Evans, Richard L.
Screw up your courage, you screwed up everything else.
Smith, Donald
The worst thing of all is standing by when folks are doing something wrong.
Kirby Larson
I am convinced that one of the biggest factors in success is the courage to undertake something.
Worsham, James A.
At the bottom of not a little of the bravery that appears in the world, there lurks a miserable cowardice. Men will face powder and steel because they have not the courage to face public opinion.
Chapin, Edwin Hubbel
It's better to be a lion for a day, than a sheep all your life.
Kenny, Sister Elizabeth
I would rather be a coward than brave because people hurt you when you are brave.
E. M. Forster
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
Courage is the capacity to conduct oneself with restraint in times of prosperity and with courage and tenacity when things do not go well.
Forrestal, James V.
I dare to do all that may become a man: who dares do more is none.
Shakespeare, William
Courage stands halfway between cowardice and rashness, one of which is a lack, the other an excess of courage.
Plutarch
