Best Quotes about Courage
A great part of courage is the courage of having done the thing before.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
One who lacks courage to start has already finished
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
The brave man inattentive to his duty, is worth little more to his country than the coward who deserts in the hour of danger.
Jackson, Andrew
If men knew all that women think, they would be twenty times more daring.
Karr, Alphonse
It takes guts to get out of the ruts.
Schuller, Robert H.
In love, as in war, a fortress that parleys is half taken.
Valois, Margaret
Courage is going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm.
Churchill, Winston
Private bravery is often the price of personal victory.
Courage is like love; it must have hope to nourish it.
Bonaparte, Napoleon
No one reaches a high position without daring.
Syrus, Publilius
Moral courage is a more rare commodity than bravery in battle or great intelligence.
Kennedy, Robert F.
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
The real acid test of courage is to be just your honest self when everybody is trying to be like somebody else.
Jensen, Andrew
Courage stands halfway between cowardice and rashness, one of which is a lack, the other an excess of courage.
Plutarch
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
Good courage in a bad affair is half of the evil overcome.
Plaut
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
It is the perpetual dread of fear, the fear of fear, that shapes the face of a brave man.
Bernanos, Georges
Half a man's wisdom goes with his courage.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
Courage is the first of human qualities because it is the quality which guarantees all others.
Churchill, Winston
Follow the path of the unsafe, independent thinker. Expose your ideas to the danger of controversy. Speak your mind and fear less the label of crackpot than the stigma of conformity.
Watson, Thomas J.
Grant what thou commandest and then command what thou wilt.
Augustine, St.
A timid person is frightened before a danger, a coward during the time, and a courageous person afterwards.
Richter, Jean Paul
It takes courage to attempt the impossible. What would we think of Moses today if when it was time to part the red sea, he had said Why don't you guys go build a bridge?
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
Part of courage is simple consistency.
Noonan, Peggy
You have to be tough.
Ditka, Mike
All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.
Disney, Walt
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
Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear -- not absence of fear.
Twain, Mark
Courage charms us, because it indicates that a man loves an idea better than all things in the world, that he is thinking neither of his bed, nor his dinner, nor his money, but will venture all to put in act the invisible thought of his mind.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear - not absence of fear.
Mark Twain
A person who walks in another's tracks leaves no footprints.
Let us train our minds to desire what the situation demands.
Seneca
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
If we must fall, we should boldly meet the danger.
Tacitus, Publius Cornelius
The worst thing of all is standing by when folks are doing something wrong.
Kirby Larson
More firm and sure the hand of courage strikes, when it obeys the watchful eye of caution.
Thomson, James
You cannot fly like an eagle with wings of a wren.
Hudson, William Henry
Courage is almost a contradiction in terms. It means a strong desire to live taking the form of a readiness to die.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.
We are made strong by the difficulties we face not by those we evade.
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
One who never turned his back but marched breast forward, never doubted clouds would break, Never dreamed, though right were worsted, wrong would triumph,
Browning, Robert
Rest not. Life is sweeping by; go and dare before you die. Something mighty and sublime, leave behind to conquer time.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
I'm very brave generally, he went on in a low voice: only today I happen to have a headache.
Carroll, Lewis
Pugnacity is a form of courage, but a very bad form.
Lewis, Sinclair
The brave don't live forever, but the cautious don't live at all. Here's to the brave!
Luce, Timothy
He that would be superior to external influences must first become superior to his own passions.
Johnson, Samuel
Have the courage of your desire.
Gissing, George Robert
