“A ship is safe in harbor, but that's not what ships are for.”
William Shedd
“You will never do anything in this world without courage. It is the greatest quality of the mind next to honor.”
Aristotle
“The secret of happiness is freedom. The secret of freedom is courage.”
Thucydides
“The ideals which have lighted my way, and time after time have given me new courage to face life cheerfully have been kindness, beauty, and truth”
Albert Einstein
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.”
Theodore Roosevelt
“Do you want me to tell you something really subversive? Love is everything it's cracked up to be. That's why people are so cynical about it. It really is worth fighting for, being brave for, risking everything for. And the trouble is, if you don't risk anything, you risk even more.”
Erica Jong
“Courage is going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm.”
Winston Churchill
“One life is all we have and we live it as we believe in living it. But to sacrifice what you are and to live without belief, that is a fate more terrible than dying.”
Joan of Arc
“It is curious - curious that physical courage should be so common in the world, and moral courage so rare”
Mark Twain
“It takes a lot of courage to show your dreams to someone else.”
