Motivational Quotes
Courage
Though the practice of chivalry fell even more sadly short of its theoretic standard than practice generally falls below theory, it remains one of the most precious monuments of the moral history of our race, as a remarkable instance of a concerted and organized attempt by a most disorganized and distracted society, to raise up and carry into practice a moral ideal greatly in advance of its social condition and institutions; so much so as to have been completely frustrated in the main object, yet never entirely inefficacious, and which has left a most sensible, and for the most part a highly valuable impress on the ideas and feelings of all subsequent times.

Best Quotes about Courage
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.
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
Courage conquers all things: it even gives strength to the body.
Ovid
The worst thing of all is standing by when folks are doing something wrong.
Kirby Larson
True courage is cool and calm. The bravest of men have the least of a brutal, bullying insolence, and in the very time of danger are found the most serene and free.
Shaftesbury, Lord
Courage is a quality so necessary for maintaining virtue, that it is always respected, even when it is associated with vice.
Johnson, Samuel
What you RESIST, PERSISTS. If you take ownership and deal with things that are bothering you, then, in the very process of dealing with them they very often will go away.
A word of encouragement during a failure is worth more than an hour of praise after success.
The bravest are the most tender; the loving are the daring.
Taylor, Bayard
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
Be daring, be different, be impractical, be anything that will assert integrity of purpose and imaginative vision against the play-it-safers, the creatures of the commonplace, the slaves of the ordinary.
Beaton, Sir Cecil
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!
What you have outside you counts less than what you have inside you.
Forbes, B. C.
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
This is no time for ease and comfort. It is the time to dare and endure.
Churchill, Winston
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
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
The only courage that matters is the kind that gets you from one moment to the next.
Mignon McLaughlin
If I were asked to give what I consider the single most useful bit of advice for all humanity it would be this: Expect trouble as an inevitable part of life and when it comes, hold you head high, look it squarely in the eye and say, I will be bigger than you. You cannot defeat me.
Landers, Ann
The strangest, most generous, and proudest of all virtues is true courage.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De
To put it boldly, it is the attempt at a posterior reconstruction of existence by the process of conceptualization.
Einstein, Albert
Pugnacity is a form of courage, but a very bad form.
Lewis, Sinclair
A coward turns away, but a brave man's choice is danger.
Euripides
But screw your courage to the sticking-place and we'll not fail.
Shakespeare, William
No fact of human nature is more characteristic that its willingness to live on a chance.
It takes as much courage to have tried and failed as it does to have tried and succeeded.
Lindbergh, Anne Morrow
The beauty of the soul shines out when a man bears with composure one heavy mischance after another, not because he does not feel them, but because he is a man of high and heroic temper.
Aristotle
Nothing gives a fearful man more courage than another's fear.
Eco, Umberto
Bravery and stupidity go hand in hand.
Summers, David
It shows a brave and resolute spirit not to be agitated in exciting circumstances.
Cicero, Marcus T.
I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat.
Churchill, Winston
It takes vision and courage to create -- it takes faith and courage to prove.
Young, Owen D.
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
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.
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
Nothing recommends a man to the female mind than courage.
More firm and sure the hand of courage strikes, when it obeys the watchful eye of caution.
Thomson, James
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
A timid person is frightened before a danger, a coward during the time, and a courageous person afterward.
Jean Paul Richter
Here is the answer which I will give to President Roosevelt. Give us the tools, and we will finish the job.
Churchill, Winston
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
Good courage in a bad affair is half of the evil overcome.
Plaut
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
He that would be superior to external influences must first become superior to his own passions.
Johnson, Samuel
Live as brave men and face adversity with stout hearts.
Horace
I am convinced that one of the biggest factors in success is the courage to undertake something.
Worsham, James A.
Screw up your courage, you screwed up everything else.
Smith, Donald
We must build dikes of courage to hold back the flood of fear.
King Jr. Martin Luther
Some have been thought brave because they didn't have the courage to run away.
Proverb
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
