Courage..........

Fortune favors the brave. --Virgil (70 BC - 19 BC)

Creativity requires the courage to let go of certainties. --Erich Fromm

Courage is the ladder on which all the other virtues mount. --Clare Booth Luce Cicero

Live as brave men; and if fortune is adverse, front its blows with brave hearts. --Cicero

A hero is no braver than an ordinary man, but he is braver five minutes longer.
-- Ralph Waldo Emerson

The bravest thing you can do when you are not brave is to profess courage and act accordingly.
--Corra Harr

Courage, it would seem, is nothing less than the power to overcome danger, misfortune, fear, injustice, while continuing to affirm inwardly that life with all its sorrows is good; that everything is meaningful even if in a sense beyond our understanding; and that there is always tomorrow.
--Dorothy Thompson

You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing which you think you cannot do.
--Eleanor Roosevelt

When a resolute young fellow steps up to the great bully, the world, and takes him boldly by the beard, he is often surprised to find it comes off in his hand, and that it was only tied on to scare away the timid adventurers.
--Ralph Waldo Emerson
