The French courage proceeds from vanity
Lord (George Gordon) Byron
Nothing in life gives a man so much courage as the attainment or renewal of the conviction that other people regard him with favor; because it means that everyone joins to give him help and protection, which is an infinitely stronger bulwark against the ills of life than anything he can do himself.
Arthur Schopenhauer, Position, I
Courage is not the absence of fear but rather the judgment that something is more important than fear. The brave may not live forever but the cautious do not live at all.
Meg Cabot, from the movie The Pr
Often the test of courage is not to die but to live.
Vittorio Alfieri
We need to find the courage to say NO to the things and people that are not serving us if we want to rediscover ourselves and live our lives with authenticity.
Barbara de Angelis
Last, but by no means least, courage-moral courage, the courage of one's convictions, the courage to see things through. The world ;is in a constant conspiracy against the brave. It's the age-old struggle-the roar of the crowd on one side and the voice of your ;conscience on the other.
General Douglas MacArthur
It takes courage to grow up and turn out to be who you really are.
e. e. (Edward Estlin) cummings

John Dryden
You have to be tough.
Mike Ditka
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.
W. Clement Stone
It takes bravery to recognize where in your life you are your own poison... it takes courage to do something about it.
Steve Maraboli
The marquis de Carabas was not a good man, and he knew himself well enough to be perfectly certain that he was not a brave man. He had long since decided that the world, Above or Below, was a place that wished to be deceived, and, to this end, he had named himself from a lie in a fairy tale, and created himself--his clothes, his manner, his carriage--as a grand joke.There was a dull pain in his wrists and his feet, and he was finding it harder and harder to breathe. There was nothing more to be gained by feigning unconsciousness, and he raised his head, as best he could, and spat a gob of scarlet blood into Mr. Vandemar's face.It was a brave thing to do, he thought. And a stupid one. Perhaps they would have let him die quietly, if he had not done that. Now, he had no doubt, they would hurt him more. And perhaps his death would come the quicker for it.
Neil Gaiman
When valor preys on reason, it eats the sword it fights with.
William Shakespeare
It takes courage to be the author of your life. When you are struggling through one of the difficult parts of turning your dreams into reality, you may wonder why you always get stuck with having to put up with so much fear and uncertainty. Why, you wonder, couldn't I feel more courageous, like those other people do? You don't feel courageous because courage is not an emotion. There is no such thing as feeling courageous. It is an imaginary emotion. Courage consists of doing what you said you would do even when you don't want to. In the face of danger you have a choice to be the delegate of either your commitments or your feelings. It's as simple and as difficult as that.
Nicholas Lore, The Pathfinder
Never ask the Gods for life set free from grief, but ask for courage that endureth long.
Menander
Yet each man kills the thing he lovesBy each let this be heardSome do it with a bitter lookSome with a flattering wordThe coward does it with a kissThe brave man with a sword
Oscar Wilde
True valor lies between cowardice and rashness.
Miguel de Cervantes
Courage is rightly considered the foremost of the virtues, for upon it, all others depend.
Sir Winston Churchill
I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat.
Here is the answer which I will give to President Roosevelt. Give us the tools, and we will finish the job.
