Quote by George Konrad

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.

You take a number of small steps which you believe are right

Summary

This quote highlights the idea that courage is not just displayed in one grand, dramatic act, but rather in the accumulation of small, seemingly insignificant steps taken in alignment with one's beliefs and values. It implies that true courage lies in persistently standing up for what is right, even when met with potential opposition or backlash. By encouraging individuals to take these small steps and patiently wait for a reaction, the quote implies that courage is a gradual process that stems from the courage to take one step at a time.

And therefore is the outward beauty a true sign of the inwar

And therefore is the outward beauty a true sign of the inward goodness, and in bodies this comeliness is imprinted, more and less, as it were, for a mark of the soul, whereby she is outwardly known; as in trees, in which the beauty of the buds giveth a testimony of the goodness of the fruit.
