Best Quotes about Courage
The bravest are the most tender; the loving are the daring.
Taylor, Bayard
Courage is the capacity to confirm what can be imagined.
Rosten, Leo
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.
He that would be superior to external influences must first become superior to his own passions.
Johnson, Samuel
When valour preys on reason, it eats the sword it fights with.
William Shakespeare
Fortune and love favor the brave.
Ovid
Life only demands from you the strength that you possess. Only one feat is possible; not to run away.
Hammarskjold, Dag
With your help I can advance against a troop; with my God I can scale a wall. [Psalms 18:29]
Bible
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
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
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.
Part of courage is simple consistency.
Noonan, Peggy
Courage follows action.
Douglas, Mack R.
And what he greatly thought, he nobly dared.
Homer
But screw your courage to the sticking-place and we'll not fail.
Shakespeare, William
Courage enlarges, cowardice diminishes resources. In desperate straits the fears of the timid aggravate the dangers that imperil the brave.
Bovee, Christian Nevell
As a rock on the seashore he standeth firm, and the dashing of the waves disturbeth him not. He raiseth his head like a tower on a hill, and the arrows of fortune drop at his feet. In the instant of danger, the courage of his heart here, and scorn to fly.
Akhenaton
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
No one reaches a high position without daring.
Syrus, Publilius
I decided once and for all that I was going to make it or die.
Johnson, John
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
Courage that grows from constitution often forsakes a man when he has occasion for it; courage which arises from a sense of duty acts ;in a uniform manner.
Addison, Joseph
Courage leads to heaven; fear leads to death.
Seneca
You take a number of small steps which you believe are right, thinking maybe tomorrow somebody will treat this as a dangerous provocation. And then you wait. If there is no reaction, you take another step: courage is only an accumulation of small steps.
Konrad, George
True courage is not the brutal force of vulgar heroes. Rather the firm resolve of virtue and reason.
Whitehead, Alfred North
The ideas that have lighted my way and, time after time, have given me new courage to face life cheerfully have been Kindness, Beauty, and Truth.
Einstein, Albert
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
Many would be cowards if they had courage enough.
Thomas Fuller
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.
A great part of courage is the courage of having done the thing before.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
Courage consists in equality to the problem before us.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
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
Nothing recommends a man to the female mind than courage.
I've been through it all, baby. I'm Mother Courage.
Taylor, Elizabeth
Stride forward with a firm, steady step knowing with a deep, certain inner knowing that you will reach every goal you set yourselves, that you will achieve every aim .
Caddy, Eileen
A timid person is frightened before a danger, a coward during the time, and a courageous person afterwards.
Richter, Jean Paul
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
The human race afraid of nothing, rushes on through every crime.
Horace
No more turning away from the weak and the weary. No more turning away from the coldness inside. Just a world that we all must share. It's not enough just to stand and stare. Is it only a dream that there'll be no more turning away.
Gilmore, David
Real courage is when you know you're licked before you begin, but you begin anyway and see it through no matter what.
Lee, Harper
Courage is going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm.
Churchill, Winston
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
Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear - not absence of fear.
Mark Twain
Keep courage. Whatever you do, do not feel sorry for yourself. You will win in a great age of opportunity.
Evans, Richard L.
'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
But you be strong and do not lose courage, for there is reward for your work. [ 2 Chronicles 15:7]
Bible
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
We are made strong by the difficulties we face not by those we evade.
Anybody with a little guts and the desire to apply himself can make it, he can make anything he wants to make of himself.
Shoemaker, Willie
Fortune favors the brave.
Virgil
