Valor is stability, not of legs and arms, but of courage and the soul.
To him that waits all things reveal themselves, provided that he has the courage not to deny, in the darkness, what he has seen in the light.
I believe that courage is the sum of strength and wisdom. You take away wisdom from the equation - courage may turn to rage.
The only real progress lies in learning to be wrong all alone.
Be brave. Take risks. Nothing can substitute experience.
Courage is knowing what not to fear.
Look at hopelessness in the face and say: "We are simply not meant to be together." Hold courage's hand and walk away.
To live with fear and not be afraid is the final test of maturity.
I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.
Courage is fear holding on a minute longer.
It is curious that physical courage should be so common in the world and moral courage so rare.
To me, bravery is to stand up for what you believe in.
Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.
A true knight is fuller of bravery in the midst, than in the beginning of danger.
Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.
Bravery is not a quality of the body. It is of the soul.
Courage is reckoned the greatest of all virtues; because, unless a man has that virtue, he has no security for preserving any other.
A coward is a hero with a wife, kids, and a mortgage.
The opposite of bravery is not cowardice but conformity.
Take chances, make mistakes. That's how you grow. Pain nourishes your courage. You have to fail in order to practice being brave.
Fear cuts deeper than swords.
A ship is safe in harbor, but that's not what ships are for.
Be brave enough to live life creatively. The creative place where no one else has ever been.
You will never do anything in this world without courage. It is the greatest quality of the mind next to honor.
Live as brave men; and if fortune is adverse, front its blows with brave hearts.
