Motivational Quotes
Courage
The pressure of adversity does not affect the mind of the brave man. It is more powerful than external circumstances.

Best Quotes about Courage
The courage we desire and prize is not the courage to die decently, but to live manfully.
Carlyle, Thomas
Have courage for the great sorrows of life, and patience for the small ones. When you have laboriously accomplished your daily tasks, go to sleep in peace. God is awake.
Hugo, Victor
Life only demands from you the strength that you possess. Only one feat is possible; not to run away.
Hammarskjold, Dag
It is curious that physical courage should be so common in the world and moral courage so rare.
Mark Twain
What a new face courage puts on everything!
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
Keep courage. Whatever you do, do not feel sorry for yourself. You will win in a great age of opportunity.
Evans, Richard L.
Live as brave men and face adversity with stout hearts.
Horace
Courage is not limited to the battlefield or the Indianapolis 500 or bravely catching a thief in your house. The real tests of courage are much quieter. They are the inner tests, like remaining faithful when nobody's looking, like enduring pain when the room is empty, like standing alone when you're misunderstood.
Courage leads to heaven; fear leads to death.
Seneca
Flatter me, and I may not believe you. Criticize me, and I may not like you. Ignore me, and I may not forgive you. Encourage me, and I may not forget you.
Arthur, William
Better to die on one's feet than to live on one's knees.
Zapata, Emiliano
Nothing splendid has ever been achieved except by those who dared believe that something inside them was superior to circumstance.
Barton, Bruce
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.
Mill, John Stuart
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
We are made strong by the difficulties we face not by those we evade.
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.
A strong man and a waterfall always channel their own path.
Fortune can take away riches, but not courage.
Seneca
It is in great dangers that we see great courage.
Regnard, Jean Francois
The real acid test of courage is to be just your honest self when everybody is trying to be like somebody else.
Jensen, Andrew
When you meet your antagonist, do everything in a mild and agreeable manner. Let your courage be as keen, but at the same time as polished, as your sword.
Richard Brinsley Sheridan
Wealth lost is something lost, honor lost is something lost: Courage lost all is lost.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
You cannot fly like an eagle with wings of a wren.
Hudson, William Henry
As for courage and will -- we cannot measure how much of each lies within us, we can only trust there will be sufficient to carry through trials which may lie ahead.
Norton, Andre
The brave person thinks of themselves last of all.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von
Correction does much, but encouragement does more. Encouragement after censure is as the sun after a shower.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
It shows a brave and resolute spirit not to be agitated in exciting circumstances.
Cicero, Marcus T.
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
It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog.
Twain, Mark
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
We must build dikes of courage to hold back the flood of fear.
King Jr. Martin Luther
Courage is the art of being the only one who knows you're scared to death.
Harold Wilson
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
It takes a lot of courage to show your dreams to someone else.
Bombeck, Erma
The only courage that matters is the kind that gets you from one moment to the next.
Mignon McLaughlin
I would define true courage to be a perfect sensibility of the measure of danger, and a mental willingness to endure it.
Sherman, William T.
You've got to jump off cliffs and build your wings on the way down.
Bradbury, Ray
The more thou dost advance, the more thy feet pitfalls will meet. The Path that leadeth on is lighted by one fire -- the light of daring burning in the heart. The more one dares, the more he shall obtain. The more he fears, the more that light shall pale
Blavatsky, Helena Petrova
Courage is like love; it must have hope to nourish it.
Bonaparte, Napoleon
Let us train our minds to desire what the situation demands.
Seneca
The burden which is well borne becomes light.
Ovid
A timid person is frightened before a danger, a coward during the time, and a courageous person afterwards.
Richter, Jean Paul
No man in the world has more courage than the man who can stop after eating one peanut.
Pollock, Channing
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
But screw your courage to the sticking-place and we'll not fail.
Shakespeare, William
It takes as much courage to have tried and failed as it does to have tried and succeeded.
Lindbergh, Anne Morrow
Part of courage is simple consistency.
Noonan, Peggy
Fortune and love favor the brave.
Ovid
Fortune favors the brave.
Virgil
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
