WINSTON CHURCHILL ( more Winston Churchill quotes) Facing up to things, working through them, that’s what makes you strong.Ĭourage is going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm. The greatest test of courage on the earth is to bear defeat without losing heart.Īnyone can hide. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less. Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood.

It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are. To dare is to lose one’s footing momentarily. Keep your fears to yourself but share your courage with others. You cannot swim for new horizons until you have courage to lose sight of the shore. RALPH WALDO EMERSON ( more Ralph Waldo Emerson quotes) Rowling quotes)ĭo the thing you fear and the death of fear is certain. It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to our enemies, but just as much to stand up to our friends. Otherwise you’ll just knuckle under, and things that might have been memorable will be lost. You have to really be courageous about your instincts and your ideas. You must do the thing which you think you cannot do.Ĭourage is not simply one of the virtues but the form of every virtue at the testing point, which means at the point of highest reality. You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one’s courage. Pride is holding your head up when everyone around you has theirs bowed. Have courage for the great sorrows of life and patience for the small ones and when you have laboriously accomplished your daily task, go to sleep in peace. It happens when you are ready to face the questions you have been avoiding your whole life.

Courage doesn’t happen when you have all the answers.
