Motivational Quotes
Courage
The brave man inattentive to his duty, is worth little more to his country than the coward who deserts in the hour of danger.

Best Quotes about Courage
Many would be cowards if they had courage enough.
Thomas Fuller
The courage we desire and prize is not the courage to die decently, but to live manfully.
Carlyle, Thomas
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
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
It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog.
Twain, Mark
That's a valiant flea that dares eat his breakfast on the lip of a lion.
Shakespeare, William
He that would be superior to external influences must first become superior to his own passions.
Johnson, Samuel
It shows a brave and resolute spirit not to be agitated in exciting circumstances.
Cicero, Marcus T.
With courage you will dare to take risks, have the strength to be compassionate and the wisdom to be humble. Courage is the foundation of integrity.
Nair, Keshavan
If we have the courage and tenacity of our forebears, who stood firmly like a rock against the lash of slavery, we shall find a way to do for our day what they did for theirs.
Bethune, Mary Mcleod
Until the day of his death, no man can be sure of his courage.
Anouilh, Jean
The most important thing in life is not the triumph but the struggle. The essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well.
Coubertin, Baron Pierre De
He either fears his fate too much, Or his deserts are small, That dares not put it to the touch, To gain or lose it all.
Graham, James
Let us train our minds to desire what the situation demands.
Seneca
Courage follows action.
Douglas, Mack R.
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
Never ask the Gods for life set free from grief, but ask for courage that endureth long.
Menander of Athens
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.
He who dies before many witnesses always does so with courage.
Voltaire
Screw up your courage, you screwed up everything else.
Smith, Donald
You cannot fly like an eagle with wings of a wren.
Hudson, William Henry
A timid person is frightened before a danger, a coward during the time, and a courageous person afterward.
Jean Paul Richter
The real acid test of courage is to be just your honest self when everybody is trying to be like somebody else.
Jensen, Andrew
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
Whether you be man or woman you will never do anything in this world without courage. It is the greatest quality of the mind next to honor.
Allen, James
If courage wasn't a standard result of aging, it meant that the young could somehow acquire it as well.
Lawana Blackwell
What would life be if we had no courage to attempt anything?
Gogh, Vincent Van
It is the perpetual dread of fear, the fear of fear, that shapes the face of a brave man.
Bernanos, Georges
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
It requires courage not to surrender oneself to the ingenious or compassionate counsels of despair that would induce a man to eliminate himself from the ranks of the living; but it does not follow from this that every huckster who is fattened and nourished in self-confidence has more courage than the man who yielded to despair.
Kierkegaard, SĀ°ren
Have the courage to say no. Have the courage to face the truth. Do the right thing because it is right. These are the magic keys to living your life with integrity.
Stone, W. Clement
You are under the unfortunate delusion that simply because you run away from danger, you have no courage. You're confusing courage with wisdom.
Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear -- not absence of fear.
Twain, Mark
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
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
I would rather be a coward than brave because people hurt you when you are brave.
E. M. Forster
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
You are merely not feeling equal to the tasks before you.
Carnegie, Dale
The scars you acquire while exercising courage will never make you feel inferior.
Battista, D.A.
A strong man and a waterfall always channel their own path.
Most of the high spots in our lives come about through encouragement. I don't care how great, how famous, how successful a man may be, he hungers for applause.
I advise you to say your dream is possible and then overcome all inconveniences, ignore all the hassles and take a running leap through the hoop, even if it is in flames.
Brown, Les
Keep courage. Whatever you do, do not feel sorry for yourself. You will win in a great age of opportunity.
Evans, Richard L.
I'm very brave generally, he went on in a low voice: only today I happen to have a headache.
Carroll, Lewis
Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not tremble or be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go. [Joshua 1:9]
Bible
No man in the world has more courage than the man who can stop after eating one peanut.
Pollock, Channing
Half a man's wisdom goes with his courage.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
'Tis easy enough to be pleasant, When life flows along like a song; But the man worth while is the one who will smile when everything goes dead wrong.
Wilcox, Ella Wheeler
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
The finest gift you can give anyone is encouragement. Yet, almost no one gets the encouragement they need to grow to their full potential. If everyone received the encouragement they need to grow, the genius in most everyone would blossom and the world would produce abundance beyond the wildest dreams. We would have more than one Einstein, Edison, Schweitzer, Mother Theresa, Dr. Salk and other great minds in a century.
Madwed, Sidney
