Elisabeth Rohm	I have a lot of courage. I'm a realist.	103
James Keller	It is so often true that whether a person carries with him an atmosphere of gloom and depression or one of confidence and courage depends on his individual outlook.	103
Joe Scarborough	I have three favorite politicians: Reagan, Truman, and Bobby Kennedy - Bobby for showing remarkable political courage despite being loathed by many on both sides.	103
Douglas Leone	Give me an entrepreneur with a lot of courage, gusto and who iterates rapidly, and I will back that person day in and day out.	103

Horace Smith	Courage is the fear of being thought a coward.	103
Kristian Bush	I believe the biggest challenge is just getting the courage to try something different or new. Try to forget the stereotype in your mind. Yoga is for everyone - children, athletes, moms, dads, accountants, truck drivers, even country stars.	103
Ruby Dee	The kind of beauty I want most is the hard-to-get kind that comes from within - strength, courage, dignity.	103

Timothy Dalton	Real courage is knowing what faces you and knowing how to face it.	103
Clyde Edgerton	Because we men have been physically stronger and more arrogant, we've influenced much of the cool stuff of the world, like basing the definition of courage on what we do on battlefields rather than on the patience or endurance or tolerance necessary for a sometimes painful daily grind that includes small children.	103
David Alan Basche	When I met Bono at the Cannes Film festival while I was there for the film 'United 93,' he said to me, 'That's a great film, brother. Thank you for your courage in making it.' I plotzed.	103
Richard Hatch	I love revolutionaries who have the courage to stand up against the status quo. They're always misunderstood, but they're the ones who are standing up for human rights.	103
Thomas J. Stanley	Before you can become a millionaire, you must learn to think like one. You must learn how to motivate yourself to counter fear with courage. Making critical decisions about your career, business, investments and other resources conjures up fear, fear that is part of the process of becoming a financial success.	103
Ben Gazzara	It's up to the courage of the filmmakers to make art in cinema, not just business. John was rejected by studios, he borrowed money and did movies with his own money. You're either courageous or not. You have to find a way.	103
Bryan Q. Miller	The qualities of an exceptional cook are akin to those of a successful tightrope walker: an abiding passion for the task, courage to go out on a limb and an impeccable sense of balance.	103
Major Taylor	These rules may seem simple enough, but it will require great morale and physical courage to adhere to them. But if carried out in the strict sense of the word it will surely lead to a greater success than could otherwise be attained.	103

Morley	My big inspiration for hope is the courage that I read about from people from all over the world, or that I see on a daily basis from the kids I get to work with.	103
Romeo LeBlanc	If I am to be known for anything, I would like it to be for encouraging Canadians, for knowing a little bit about their daily, extraordinary courage. And for wanting that courage to be recognized.	103
Anna Akhmatova	Courage: Great Russian word, fit for the songs of our children's children, pure on their tongues, and free.	103

Anais Nin	I, with a deeper instinct, choose a man who compels my strength, who makes enormous demands on me, who does not doubt my courage or my toughness, who does not believe me naive or innocent, who has the courage to treat me like a woman.	104
Benjamin Disraeli	Courage is fire, and bullying is smoke.	104
Angela Merkel	Overcoming the Cold War required courage from the people of Central and Eastern Europe and what was then the German Democratic Republic, but it also required the steadfastness of Western partner over many decades when many had long lost hope of integration of the two Germanys and Europe.	104
Carl Lewis	The trials on the road to world harmony are no greater than the courage of those who accept the challenge.	104

Maxwell Maltz	We must have courage to bet on our ideas, to take the calculated risk, and to act. Everyday living requires courage if life is to be effective and bring happiness.	104
Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum	Most people talk; we do things. They plan; we achieve. They hesitate; we move ahead. We are living proof that when human beings have the courage and commitment to transform a dream into reality, there is nothing that can stop them.	104
Olga Kurylenko	To be a Bond girl you need courage, charm, determination and feistiness.	104
Paul Robeson	You want to shut up every Negro who has the courage to stand up and fight for the rights of his people, for the rights of workers, and I have been on many a picket line for the steelworkers too.	104
Van Wyck Brooks	The man who has the courage of his platitudes is always a successful man.	104

Zoe Saldana	It takes a lot of courage to face up to things you can't do because we feed ourselves so much denial.	104
Adam Driver	In the military, you learn the essence of people. You see so many examples of self-sacrifice and moral courage. In the rest of life, you don't get that many opportunities to be sure of your friends.	104
Dean Koontz	Nothing gives us courage more readily than the desire to avoid looking like a damn fool.	104
Donella Meadows	I know that war and mayhem run in our blood. I refuse to believe that they must dominate our lives. We humans are animals, too, but animals with amazing powers of rationality, morality, society. We can use our strength and courage not to savage each other, but to defend our highest purposes.	104
Kevin Patterson	Because at bottom, I'm interested in fear, and in courage and cowardice and these are easier to get at through fiction, where you can enter people's heads.	104
Publius Flavius Vegetius Renatus	The courage of a soldier is heightened by his knowledge of his profession.	104
Ann Bancroft	A life lesson for me is, how do you muster the courage to take on a new risk? Whether it's starting up a business or taking on a new project or expedition. I think the risks that we take are all relative to the risk-taker.	104
Channing Pollock	No man in the world has more courage than the man who can stop after eating one peanut.	104
Donald O'Connor	They put me in a harness, like a horse, to learn the back somersault. It was weird up there when I put on that harness for the first time. The courage came with practice.	104
Jonas Salk	There is hope in dreams, imagination, and in the courage of those who wish to make those dreams a reality.	104
Mary Wesley	Women's courage is rather different from men's. The fact that women have to bring up children and look after husbands makes them braver at facing long-term issues, such as illness. Men are more immediately courageous. Lots of people are brave in battle.	104
Said Sayrafiezadeh	I am haunted by what my life would have been had I not had the courage in my early twenties to leave Pittsburgh for New York City and really commit to being a writer. Pittsburgh is both post-industrial and provincial, and the opportunities there are limited. It would have been quite easy to simply drift through life.	104
Sam Raimi	When we read stories of heroes, we identify with them. We take the journey with them. We see how the obstacles almost overcome them. We see how they grow as human beings or gain qualities or show great qualities of strength and courage and with them, we grow in some small way.	104
David Seabury	Courage and conviction are powerful weapons against an enemy who depends only on fists or guns. Animals know when you are afraid; a coward knows when you are not.	104
Safak Pavey	At pivotal moments throughout history, there have always been grey areas, and there likely will be in the future. Courage now lies not in the black and white, as in the past, but in the grey.	104

Dale Carnegie	Most of us have far more courage than we ever dreamed we possessed.	105
Ernest Hemingway	Courage is grace under pressure.	105

Amelia Earhart	Courage is the price that life exacts for granting peace.	105
Brene Brown	The truth is: Belonging starts with self-acceptance. Your level of belonging, in fact, can never be greater than your level of self-acceptance, because believing that you're enough is what gives you the courage to be authentic, vulnerable and imperfect.	105
Bryant H. McGill	Change will never happen when people lack the ability and courage to see themselves for who they are.	105

Bart Starr	Anyone can support a team that is winning - it takes no courage. But to stand behind a team to defend a team when it is down and really needs you, that takes a lot of courage.	105
Emeli Sande	It would be sad if we lost our instinct and our courage to love and protect.	105
Frank Capra	In our film profession you may have Gable's looks, Tracy's art, Marlene's legs or Liz's violet eyes, but they don't mean a thing without that swinging thing called courage.	105
Georg Brandes	Being gifted needs courage.	105
Gerald Edelman	Science is imagination in the service of the verifiable truth, and that service is indeed communal. It cannot be rigidly planned.

Louis Nizer	I know of no higher fortitude than stubborness in the face of overwhelming odds.	105

William Samuel Johnson	Whatever enlarges hope will also exalt courage.	105

Jenna Jameson	My definition of courage is never letting anyone define you.	105

Joaquin Castro	I learned that Congress is a place with more heart than courage; there are more good souls in Washington than brave ones. I learned that the whole is not always the sum of its parts: that what you put in doesn't always match what you get out.	105
Andre Norton	As for courage and will - we cannot measure how much of each lies within us, we can only trust there will be sufficient to carry through trials which may lie ahead.	105
James Norton	It takes a lot of courage, when everyone is asking you what you want to do, if you say that you want to be a musician or an actor; people can be very condescending and say, 'Oh, that's so sweet, good luck with that!' It can be very frustrating.	105
Jacques Maritain	A man of courage flees forward, in the midst of new things.	105
John Murray	Give the people not hell, but hope and courage.	105

Ben Okri	One of the greatest gifts my father gave me - unintentionally - was witnessing the courage with which he bore adversity. We had a bit of a rollercoaster life with some really challenging financial periods. He was always unshaken, completely tranquil, the same ebullient, laughing, jovial man.	106
Charles Caleb Colton	Physical courage, which despises all danger, will make a man brave in one way; and moral courage, which despises all opinion, will make a man brave in another.	106

Henry George Bohn	Courage ought to have eyes as well as arms.	106
Sarah Kay	To me, having the courage to tell your own story goes hand in hand with having the curiosity and humility to listen to others' stories.	106

Dick Cheney	It's not just Bin Laden or just those that are involved in the counterterrorism effort. We've gotta cast the net broader than that.

Harper Lee	Real courage is when you know you're licked before you begin, but you begin anyway and see it through no matter what.	107

Vittorio Alfieri	Often the test of courage is not to die but to live.	107
Wadah Khanfar	Some people call it the 'Al Jazeera spirit' - courage, re-thinking authority, giving a voice to the voiceless. We have never been favored by the authority. The human being is the center of our editorial policy. We are not a TV station that rushes after stars, big names, press conferences, hand-shake journalism.	107
William Hurt	Heroes to me are guys that sit in libraries. They absorb knowledge and then the risks they take are calculated on the basis of the courage it took to become replete with knowledge.	107
Claire Denis	'White Material' is about courage and craziness.	107

John Eldredge	Where a man's strength and courage is tested most is in the way that he treats women - the way that he loves.	107

Miguel de Cervantes	One man scorned and covered with scars still strove with his last ounce of courage to reach the unreachable stars; and the world will be better for this.	108
Natalie Dormer	For me, it's not necessarily interesting to play a strong, fearless woman. It's interesting to play a woman who is terrified and then overcomes that fear. It's about the journey. Courage is not the absence of fear, it's overcoming it.	108
Ronda Rousey	People say to me all the time, 'You have no fear.' I tell them, 'No, that's not true. I'm scared all the time. You have to have fear in order to have courage. I'm a courageous person because I'm a scared person.'	108

Geraldo Rivera	The courage in journalism is sticking up for the unpopular, not the popular.	108

Boutros Boutros-Ghali	The problem is when you are writing something in retrospective, it needs a lot of courage not to change, or you will forget a certain reality, and you will just take in consideration your view today.	108
Simon Van Booy	The joy of style lies not in how we look to other people, but in how we look to ourselves - and the most memorable and beautiful outfits are simply those that, in some rare moment of joy, we found the courage to share with the world.	108
Marvin Olasky	On sensitive issues, talk isn't cheap - it takes real courage to pry open topics nailed shut.	108
Shari Sebbens	It takes a lot of courage as an actor to take time off for family. But family is everything.	108
Douglas Fairbanks	We all have ambitions, but only the few achieve. A man thinks of a good thing and says: 'Now if I only had the money I'd put that through.' The word 'if' was a dent in his courage. With character fully established, his plan well thought out, he had only to go to those in command of capital and it would have been forthcoming.	108
Silvia Cartwright	There is no glory in war, yet from the blackness of its history, there emerge vivid colours of human character and courage. Those who risked their lives to help their friends.	108

Carl von Clausewitz	Courage, above all things, is the first quality of a warrior.	109

Daniel J. Boorstin	The courage to imagine the otherwise is our greatest resource, adding color and suspense to all our life.	109
David Letterman	There's only one requirement of any of us, and that is to be courageous. Because courage, as you might know, defines all other human behavior. And, I believe - because I've done a little of this myself - pretending to be courageous is just as good as the real thing.	109
Lewis Mumford	A man of courage never needs weapons, but he may need bail.	109
Muhammad Ali Jinnah	My message to you all is of hope, courage and confidence. Let us mobilize all our resources in a systematic and organized way and tackle the grave issues that confront us with grim determination and discipline worthy of a great nation.	109
Pablo Casals	Each person has inside a basic decency and goodness. If he listens to it and acts on it, he is giving a great deal of what it is the world needs most. It is not complicated but it takes courage. It takes courage for a person to listen to his own goodness and act on it.	109
Ricky Martin	Amongst the qualities a hero should have, I would include determination, loyalty, courage, perseverance, patience, focus, intrepidity and selflessness.	109
Rollo May	It requires greater courage to preserve inner freedom, to move on in one's inward journey into new realms, than to stand defiantly for outer freedom. It is often easier to play the martyr, as it is to be rash in battle.	109
Stokely Carmichael	We had no more courage than Harriet Tubman or Marcus Garvey had in their times. We just had a more vulnerable enemy.	109
Vash Young	All my life I had feared to-morrow, until I decided to have faith and to live to-day in courage.	109

Ralph W. Sockman	The test of courage comes when we are in the minority. The test of tolerance comes when we are in the majority.	109
Edwin Hubbel Chapin	At the bottom of not a little of the bravery that appears in the world, there lurks a miserable cowardice. Men will face powder and steel because they have not the courage to face public opinion.	109
Luke Pasqualino	When I was 16 the first girl I had a crush on wasn't interested at all. I liked her from afar for ages, and when I eventually got the courage and told her, and she wasn't into me.	109
Sydney Smith	A great deal of talent is lost to the world for want of a little courage. Every day sends to their graves obscure men whose timidity prevented them from making a first effort.	109
Ann McLane Kuster	For the past 25 years as an adoption attorney, I have witnessed the extraordinary courage and compassion of women - from age 14 to 40 - facing unplanned pregnancy. Not once did I believe that the government should interfere with their personal and private decision.	109
Bill Hybels	It takes a great deal of courage to follow another person's lead.	109

Mercy Otis Warren	The British were indeed very far superior to the Americans in every respect necessary to military operations, except the revivified courage and resolution, the result of sudden success after despair.	109
August Strindberg	I always disliked dogs, those protectors of cowards who lack the courage to fight an assailant themselves.	109
Jonas Gahr Store	Confronting and undermining the narratives and ideas of extremism must therefore be one of our key tasks. To do this, we must retain the courage of our convictions in the face of extremism.	109
John Wooden	Success is never final, failure is never fatal. It's courage that counts.	110

Andrew Johnson	Honest conviction is my courage; the Constitution is my guide.	110
Edouard Manet	I would kiss you, had I the courage.	110
Ellen Key	It is not sufficient for the young to devote their enthusiasm, their courage, their ambition, their self-sacrifice to the great ideas of the time; the young must not only preserve but increase their powers if they are to be really equal to their eternal task: that of drawing the age in advance.	110
Logan Pearsall Smith	What is more mortifying than to feel that you have missed the plum for want of courage to shake the tree?	110
Miguel de Cervantes	He who loses wealth loses much; he who loses a friend loses more; but he that loses his courage loses all.	110

Vittorio Alfieri	Ofttimes the test of courage becomes rather to live than to die.	110
Carol Leifer	I think what I would say to my younger self, and probably to younger, just starting-out writers is that a lot of times you're just afraid to put yourself out there, and it's uncomfortable because it's working up the courage to do something, to push yourself to do those things.	110
Don Young	Remember in 1973 the same science chatter said that the coming Ice Age is going to occur, we're going to lose millions of people. And the politicians knew how to solve it, they just didn't have the courage to solve it; they were going to put coal dust on the Arctic.	110
Ellen Willis	My education was dominated by modernist thinkers and artists who taught me that the supreme imperative was courage to face the awful truth, to scorn the soft-minded optimism of religious and secular romantics as well as the corrupt optimism of governments, advertisers, and mechanistic or manipulative revolutionaries.	110
Sun Myung Moon	A member must say that he is a member of the Unification Church and that he is the follower of Sun Myung Moon. If he doesn't have the courage to say it, he is not worthy of me.	110

Margaret Mitchell	With enough courage, you can do without a reputation.	110
Tom Lantos	Let me start with Yahoo. As we meet today, a Chinese citizen who had the courage to speak his mind on the Internet is in prison because Yahoo chose to share his name and address with the Chinese Government.	110
Daniel Ellsberg	There are two types of courage involved with what I did. When it comes to picking up a rifle, millions of people are capable of doing that, as we see in Iraq or Vietnam.

Dorothea Lange	I many times encountered courage, real courage. Undeniable courage. I've heard it said that that was the highest quality of the human animal. I encountered that many times, in unexpected places. And I have learned to recognize it when I see it.	111
Henry Van Dyke	Genius is talent set on fire by courage.	111
Jim Davis	Way down deep, we're all motivated by the same urges. Cats have the courage to live by them.	111

Moliere	There are pretenders to piety as well as to courage.	111

Oriana Fallaci	Alas, nothing reveals man the way war does. Nothing so accentuates in him the beauty and ugliness, the intelligence and foolishness, the brutishness and humanity, the courage and cowardice, the enigma.	111
Paloma Faith	I feel quite fearless protecting the people I love.	111
Peggy Noonan	Part of courage is simple consistency.	111

Reinhold Niebuhr	If we survive danger it steels our courage more than anything else.	111
Derek Cianfrance	I love actors that are brave, that are courageous. And courage to me is not the absence of fear, it's the presence of fear, and they go to places that really scare them, because as an audience, that's where you feel danger.	111
Kenny Loggins	You must have love as the core; it takes courage to be willing to constantly tell the truth to each other and risk letting the relationship go.	111
Maria Semple	Creating art is painful. It takes time, practice, and the courage to stand alone.	111

Sinclair Lewis	Pugnacity is a form of courage, but a very bad form.	111
Tammy Baldwin	I've decided to run for the U.S. Senate because I believe Wisconsin families need a senator who will work hard to deliver results for the middle class - a leader with the courage to do what's right, no matter how tough the odds or how powerful the special interests we have to fight.	111
Tom Reiss	Alex Dumas was a consummate warrior and a man of great conviction and moral courage. He was renowned for his strength, his swordsmanship, his bravery, and his knack for pulling victory out of the toughest situations. But he was known, too, for his profane back talk and his problems with authority.	111
Cynthia McKinney	Americans are gathering the courage to just say no. We are saying no to addictive consumer lifestyles. We are saying no to wars and corporate takeover and the IMF loans that gobble up people and their resources.	111
Jeff Ament	With Pearl Jam, everybody is so good at what they do, it's hard to get up the courage to say, Can I sing this part, or, I want to play guitar. I feel like I have more courage to do that.	111
Michael Kinsley	He's nice enough not to want to be associated with a nasty remark but not nice enough not to make it. Lacking the courage of one's nastiness does not make one nice.	111
Maya Angelou	One isn't necessarily born with courage, but one is born with potential. Without courage, we cannot practice any other virtue with consistency. We can't be kind, true, merciful, generous, or honest.	112
Thich Nhat Hanh	Fearlessness is not only possible, it is the ultimate joy. When you touch nonfear, you are free.	112

Catherine the Great	I beg you take courage; the brave soul can mend even disaster.	112

Thomas Hardy	Patience, that blending of moral courage with physical timidity.	112
Venkatraman Ramakrishnan	It takes a certain amount of courage to tackle very hard problems in science, I now realise. You don't know what the timescale of your work will be: decades or only a few years.	112
William J. H. Boetcker	You cannot build character and courage by taking away a man's initiative and independence.	112
Liya Kebede	If nothing else, I want women to understand that they are powerful. If you look back at history, in almost every big moment, in every leap forward, you find ordinary women at the core. We have more ability to make changes in the world than we can imagine if we have the courage to try.	112
Robert Anthony	Courage is simply the willingness to be afraid and act anyway.	112
Wallis Simpson	I have always had the courage for the new things that life sometimes offers.	112
John Ciardi	It is easy enough to praise men for the courage of their convictions. I wish I could teach the sad young of this mealy generation the courage of their confusions.	112
Ken Adam	It takes courage to stay young, to make your enthusiasms work for you. Don't let anyone drag you down.	112
John Eldredge	It takes great courage to be vulnerable. It takes enormous strength to be a real woman.	112
Richard Brinsley Sheridan	Remember that when you meet your antagonist, to do everything in a mild agreeable manner. Let your courage be keen, but, at the same time, as polished as your sword.	112
Ray Stannard Baker	But steel bars have never yet kept out a mob; it takes something a good deal stronger: human courage backed up by the consciousness of being right.	112

Stanley Baldwin	A statesman wants courage and a statesman wants vision; but believe me, after six months' experience, he wants first, second, third and all the time - patience.	112

Gabby Douglas	Always be courageous and strong, and don't fear.	113
Haile Selassie	The preservation of peace and the guaranteeing of man's basic freedoms and rights require courage and eternal vigilance: courage to speak and act - and if necessary, to suffer and die - for truth and justice; eternal vigilance, that the least transgression of international morality shall not go undetected and unremedied.	113
Ian Mcewan	One has to have the courage of one's pessimism.	113
Isabella Rossellini	If you see a person who's insecure and covers it up, it can be quite a problem. But the person who is insecure and shows you is quite appealing. They give you just the courage to drop your defenses.	113
James Allen	Whether you be man or woman you will never do anything in this world without courage. It is the greatest quality of the mind next to honor.	113

Loretta Young	I'm grateful to God for His bountiful gifts... He gave me courage and faith in myself.	113

Vanessa Paradis	It's a courageous thing to do something that doesn't have rules or limits.	113
Annie Dillard	You can't test courage cautiously.	113
Beth Moore	I don't know what kind of courage it took thousands of years ago, but I know how courageous women need to be today.	113
Eamon de Valera	When we have done our best, we can, as a united people, take whatever may befall with calm courage and confidence that this old nation will survive and if death should come to many of us, death is not the end.	113
Junot Diaz	Students teach all sorts of things but most importantly they make explicit the courage that it takes to be a learner, the courage it takes to open yourself to the transformative power of real learning and that courage I am exposed to almost every day at MIT and that I'm deeply grateful for.	113
Plautus	Good courage in a bad affair is half of the evil overcome.	113
Portia de Rossi	You live with the fear people might find out. Then you actually have the courage to tell people and they go, I don't think you are gay. It's enough to drive you crazy.	113
Emily Greene Balch	Those who are rooted in the depths that are eternal and unchangeable and who rely on unshakeable principles, face change full of courage, courage based on faith.	113
Maria Mitchell	I was a little doubtful about the propriety of going to the Mammoth Cave without a gentleman escort, but if two ladies travel alone they must have the courage of men.	113
Richard Paul Evans	Iwas not a reader at all, not until I discovered 'The Hobbit.' That changed my life. It gave me the courage to read. It led me to the 'Lord of the Rings' series. And once I'd read that, I knew I could read anything because I had just read thousands of pages.	113
Aristotle	You will never do anything in this world without courage. It is the greatest quality of the mind next to honor.	114
Billy Graham	Courage is contagious. When a brave man takes a stand, the spines of others are often stiffened.	114
Cesar Chavez	It is my deepest belief that only by giving our lives do we find life. I am convinced that the truest act of courage, the strongest act of manliness is to sacrifice ourselves for others in a totally non-violent struggle for justice.	114
Charles Caleb Colton	To dare to live alone is the rarest courage; since there are many who had rather meet their bitterest enemy in the field, than their own hearts in their closet.	114
Christian Nestell Bovee	Courage enlarges, cowardice diminishes resources. In desperate straits the fears of the timid aggravate the dangers that imperil the brave.	114
Dean Smith	The presidents of colleges have to have some courage to step forward. You can't limit alcohol in college sports, you have to get rid of it.	114
Giacomo Casanova	It is only necessary to have courage, for strength without self-confidence is useless.	114
Hans Urs von Balthasar	Our situation today shows that beauty demands for itself at least as much courage and decision as do truth and goodness, and she will not allow herself to be separated and banned from her two sisters without taking them along with herself in an act of mysterious vengeance.	114
James A. Michener	It takes courage to know when you ought to be afraid.	114
Paul Tillich	Decision is a risk rooted in the courage of being free.	114
Tina Brown	The Brazilian poet Vinicius de Moraes wrote that beauty is fundamental. Well, with the poet's permission, so is courage.	114
Alice Oswald	Stripped of its plot, the 'Iliad' is a scattering of names and biographies of ordinary soldiers: men who trip over their shields, lose their courage or miss their wives. In addition to these, there is a cast of anonymous people: the farmers, walkers, mothers, neighbours who inhabit its similes.	114
Burgess Owens	I believe that my worth is not measured by what I do, by the honors that are bestowed upon me, or by material wealth that I might obtain. Instead, I am measured by the courage I show while standing for my beliefs, by the dedication I exhibit to ensure my word is good, and the resolve I undertake to establish my actions and deeds as honorable.	114
Kitty Kelley	I admired Eugene McCarthy's courage and although I left his Senate staff after four years to accept a job as the researcher on the editorial page of the 'Washington Post,' I remained an admirer.	114
Theodore Sturgeon	Once I had all the facts in, I found I didn't have the immoral courage to pull the caper. So I wrote it as a story. As a teenager, I didn't have any skills for writing as such, so it came out in 1500 words.	114
Tracy K. Smith	I feel most alive, most electric with faith, breath, and courage, when I think of God as a current that runs through all that is. Not by will or by choice. Not as a benediction but because there are laws even God must obey.	114
Jane Campion	I think that the romantic impulse is in all of us and that sometimes we live it for a short time, but it's not part of a sensible way of living. It's a heroic path and it generally ends dangerously. I treasure it in the sense that I believe it's a path of great courage. It can also be the path of the foolhardy and the compulsive.	114
Jeff Greenfield	For millions, Roger Ebert will be remembered as a writer and television personality who brought a sense of passion and excellence to his craft. For me, he is a man who fused joy and courage as few others ever have. My life was enriched by having such a friend; it is poorer for losing such a friend.	114
John Bytheway	Curiosity, rationalization, and laziness are no match against courage, self-control, and mental toughness.	114
Ronald Reagan	There are no easy answers, but there are simple answers. We must have the courage to do what we know is morally right.	115
Theodore Roosevelt	It is only through labor and painful effort, by grim energy and resolute courage, that we move on to better things.	115
Gilbert K. Chesterton	Courage is almost a contradiction in terms. It means a strong desire to live taking the form of readiness to die.	115
Jane Goodall	My mother always taught us that if people don't agree with you, the important thing is to listen to them. But if you've listened to them carefully and you still think that you're right, then you must have the courage of your convictions.	115
John Steinbeck	Unless a reviewer has the courage to give you unqualified praise, I say ignore the bastard.	115
Joseph Stalin	In the Soviet army it takes more courage to retreat than advance.	115
Bernie Siegel	Love and peace of mind do protect us. They allow us to overcome the problems that life hands us. They teach us to survive... to live now... to have the courage to confront each day.	115
Carl von Clausewitz	Two qualities are indispensable: first, an intellect that, even in the darkest hour, retains some glimmerings of the inner light which leads to truth; and second, the courage to follow this faint light wherever it may lead.	115
Charles Lindbergh	Is he alone who has courage on his right hand and faith on his left hand?	115
Estelle	You have to have courage to look back and be honest about your own drama.	115
Michael Hutchence	But we got up there and decided to stick to this mix of power chords and funk and that's where it really started for us. In having the courage to take that decision. To take a gamble not just with our music but our lives.	115
Octavia Butler	I think we need people with stronger ideals than John Kerry or Bill Clinton. I think we need people with more courage and vision.	115
Tara Brach	Buddhist practices offer a way of saying, 'Hey, come back over here, reconnect.' The only way that you'll actually wake up and have some freedom is if you have the capacity and courage to stay with the vulnerability and the discomfort.	115
Bill Frist	Just two weeks ago, millions of Iraqis defied the threats of terrorists and went to the polls to determine their own future. I congratulate the Iraqi people for the courage they've shown in making these elections so successful.	115
Gabrielle Giffords	People have told me that I'm courageous, but I have seen greater courage.	115
Marian Anderson	The minute a person whose word means a great deal to others dare to take the open-hearted and courageous way, many others follow.	115
Adrienne Mayor	In the non-Greek stories, Persia, Egypt, even China, Central Asia, in oral traditions and written literature, anyone who fights Amazons admires their courage and beauty, and they want to be allies of the Amazon; they don't wanna kill them.	115
Janeane Garofalo	To me, there is no greater act of courage than being the one who kisses first.	115
Meghan Markle	Traveling gives you some perspective of what the rest of the world is like. I think that having the courage to step out of the norm is the most important thing.	115
Sean Covey	Having the courage to say no when all your friends are saying yes is one of the most difficult things you'll ever have to do. Doing it, however, is one of the biggest charges you can ever make to your personal battery. I call this 'won't power.'	115
Shilpa Shetty	I have huge respect for women who go out of their homes and have the courage to make their own destiny. And let me tell you, Indian women are doing a great job. There are those who work because they have no option but to earn, and then there are those who do it because they have the right talent. I respect both.	115
Rene Cassin	The single outstanding exception was the broad yet precise mandate communicated by the General Assembly in 1946 to prepare as soon as possible the Charter of Human Rights which the San Francisco Conference had not had the time or the courage to draw up.	115
Joe Klein	Political courage requires clarity.	115
Socrates	He is a man of courage who does not run away, but remains at his post and fights against the enemy.	116

George S. Patton	Courage is fear holding on a minute longer.	116
Anne Morrow Lindbergh	Don't wish me happiness - I don't expect to be happy it's gotten beyond that, somehow. Wish me courage and strength and a sense of humor - I will need them all.	116
Hill Harper	The word 'courage,' one of my favorite words, the root or the etymology of that word is 'cour,' which means heart. I think true courage is actually following your heart and not getting or succumbing to what other people's definition of what your life should be. Live your life.	116
Marlene Dietrich	Courage and grace are a formidable mixture. The only place to see it is in the bullring.	116
Martha Stewart	I admire the courage and self-reliance it takes to start your own business and make it succeed.	116
Paul Johnson	Courage is the essential element in any great public man or woman.	116
Rick Perry	And I think most people in this country want to see a president that's got the courage to say we're going to cut the tax burden, and reduce the regulatory climate, and we're going to get Americans working.	116
Susana Martinez	Success, they taught me, is built on the foundation of courage, hard-work and individual responsibility. Despite what some would have us believe, success is not built on resentment and fears.	116
Thalia	Since I was a little girl, I have witnessed the strength and courage that energized my mother, who left every sorrow and pain in the past, who would work unyieldingly to obtain her goals, who was the great warrior from whom I learned all the values that are today fundamental pillars of my every day.	116
William J. H. Boetcker	You cannot build character and courage by destroying men's initiative and independence.	116
Hosea Ballou	Falsehood is cowardice, the truth courage.	116
Margaret Heffernan	The truth won't set us free - until we develop the skills and the habit and the talent and the moral courage to use it.	116
Nathaniel Philbrick	When I was at Brown, I wanted to write the great American novel, but I was too scared to take a creative course. I signed up for one, got in, and just didn't have the courage to go. I was a tremendously shy person, almost pathologically shy. The thought of peers critiquing my work - oh, God.	116
Tariq Ramadan	Muslims must speak out and explain who they are, what they believe in, what they stand for, what is the meaning of their life. They must have the courage to denounce what is said and done by certain Muslims in the name of their religion.	116

Ellen Key	The condition of all development is not to be content with the present, but to have the courage to ask how everything can be made better and the good fortune to find a right answer to this question in thought or in action.	117
Marlee Matlin	You can do anything if you set your mind to it. Look out for kids, help them dream and be inspired. We teach calculus in schools, but I believe the most important formula is courage plus dreams equals success.	117
Orhan Pamuk	I believe in a world where there are no heroes, and I've read and know humanity a lot. There are moments that I admire in a person courage, intellect, hard work. These are the qualities I admire in an intellectual, in a writer, and there are so many people who have these things.	117
Pericles	Freedom is the sure possession of those alone who have the courage to defend it.	117
Pierre Corneille	Every man of courage is a man of his word.	117

Sally Phillips	I can make a virtue of slapdash. Slapdash can give you courage.	117
Sharad Pawar	I could never muster the courage to speak to girls in my college in Pune. Most of them were Parsis and spoke English. I came from a village and could barely converse in English.	117
Sydney Smith	Have the courage to be ignorant of a great number of things, in order to avoid the calamity of being ignorant of everything.	117

Glenn Greenwald	It shouldn't take extreme courage and a willingness to go to prison for decades or even life to blow the whistle on bad government acts done in secret. But it does. And that is an immense problem for democracy, one that all journalists should be united in fighting.	118
Jesse Jackson	Time is neutral and does not change things. With courage and initiative, leaders change things.	118

Bill Flores	America's history is exemplified in the efforts of the men and women who died for our country. The one thing that they all have in common is their selfless love for our nation and their courage to stand up to protect and defend it. They raised their gaze in the face of conflict, believed in what America could be, and pushed forward.	118
Donald McCaig	Since dogs could hear and smell better than men, we could concentrate on sight. Since courage is commonplace in dogs, men's adrenal glands could shrink. Dogs, by making us more efficient predators, gave us time to think. In short, dogs civilized us.	118
Miguel Syjuco	What I do know is that writing is the thing I am best at, and I don't have the stomach, the ability, the strength or the courage to enter the political arena. And I think writing can be a political act, if only to let those people accountable know they are being watched. Literature can be a conscience.	118
Nicolas Berggruen	California is a place of invention, a place of courage, a place of vision, a place of the future. People who made California what it is were willing to take risks, think outside convention and build.	118
Mary Gaitskill	Something like riding a horse - which I've recently started doing - requires courage, especially for me, as I started out being actually scared of horses.	118
Harry S Truman	Men make history and not the other way around. In periods where there is no leadership, society stands still. Progress occurs when courageous, skillful leaders seize the opportunity to change things for the better.	119

Vincent Van Gogh	What would life be if we had no courage to attempt anything?	119
Carole King	When I was younger, I was kind of fearless. I think it takes more courage to do things when you know more. I was completely naive, and I was like, 'Why can't I do anything I want to do?'	119
David Cameron	Half a century ago, the amazing courage of Rosa Parks, the visionary leadership of Martin Luther King, and the inspirational actions of the civil rights movement led politicians to write equality into the law and make real the promise of America for all her citizens.	119
Paul Tillich	The courage to be is rooted in the God who appears when God has disappeared in the anxiety of doubt.	119
Russell Crowe	War isn't just about bravery and courage and jingoism and patriotism. It's also fundamentally about grief. And the people that go and do the fighting and the dying are never the people who actually benefit from the fighting and the dying.	119
Thomas S. Monson	The principles of living greatly include the capacity to face trouble with courage, disappointment with cheerfulness, and trial with humility.	119
William Westmoreland	War is fear cloaked in courage.	119
Lillian Hellman	Unjust. How many times I've used that word, scolded myself with it. All I mean by it now is that I don't have the final courage to say that I refuse to preside over violations against myself, and to hell with justice.	119
Marcia Angell	Probably most dying patients, even when suffering greatly, would choose to live as long as possible. That courage and grace should be protected and honored, and we should put every effort into treating their symptoms.	119
Romola Garai	I am always naturally drawn to heroines that have human flaws because I enjoy people that have lived their life with courage and make big successes and big failures.	119

Jose Carreras	Yes, you must have the courage of being free.	119
Julianna Baggott	I'm a writer of faith who worries about the intolerance of religion. I look at the past and fear we haven't learned from it.

Victor Hugo	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.	120

Kerry Washington	That's what acting is - it's about... having the courage to allow your audience into the private moments of your characters' lives.	120
Margaret J. Wheatley	Determination, energy, and courage appear spontaneously when we care deeply about something. We take risks that are unimaginable in any other context.	120
Susana Martinez	I fear some of our leaders today have lost the courage to stand up. What we have now are politicians. They won't offer real plans, and only stand up when they want to blame someone else.	120
Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni	Perhaps what distinguishes my characters is their courage and spirit and a certain stubbornness which enables them to keep going even when facing a setback. I think this developed organically as I wrote, but also it came out of a desire to portray women as powerful and intelligent forces in the world.	120
Don Lemon	Whenever I see John Lewis, I invariably say, 'Thank you.' And I will never stop. I don't know how he's still standing, because what he endured took courage and strength that I don't know that I have.	120
Gina Prince-Bythewood	'Beyond the Lights' took incredible fight to get made. Four years of writing and two years of overcoming 'no.' Every studio balked. Twice. But I kept fighting. What gave me the courage was 'Love & Basketball.' Every studio turned down that film, too. But I never gave up because I believed in it with my whole heart and soul.	120
Alexa Vega	I used to be so intimidated by spin classes. I'd always go by and see people on their bikes looking so intense. But one day my sister and I worked up the courage to go in, and now we're hooked!	120

John F. Kennedy	Efforts and courage are not enough without purpose and direction.	121
Ben Carson	There are a group of people who would like to silence everybody and have everybody go along to get along, but that's not going to be very helpful for us in the long run, in terms of solving our problems. And somebody has to be courageous enough to actually stand up to, you know, the bullies.	121

George Matthew Adams	Courage is heartworth making itself felt in deeds. It never waits for chances; it makes chances.	121

Kenny Loggins	Courage is always rewarded.	121
Townsend Harris	The President regards the Japanese as a brave people; but courage, though useful in time of war, is subordinate to knowledge of arts; hence, courage without such knowledge is not to be highly esteemed.	121
Jaclyn Smith	Farrah Fawcett had courage, she had strength, and she had faith.	121
Ray Comfort	It takes both courage and talent to stand up in front of fellow human beings and make them crack a smile, and at the same time keep it clean.	121

Miguel de Cervantes	Valor lies just halfway between rashness and cowardice.	122

Ken Salazar	President Obama and our all-of-the-above energy strategy is the real deal. We are proud of the fact that we are importing less oil than at any time in modern history, and it has been because of the president's vision and courage.	122
Laura Mvula	My aunt is the director of the acapella group Black Voices. I was so struck by them as a child. They sang with such passion and conviction. By the time I turned 15, I had plucked up the courage to ask if I could join the group. Acapella is a different discipline from singing with an accompaniment - it is much more exposed.	122
Lee Myung-bak	I know that throughout their history, the people of the United States defended their freedom, their liberty, their justice, and their rights - if need be - with their lives. I think their courage is so admirable.	122
Sigourney Weaver	Being tall has a major impact in general. It takes some courage to be as big as you are - to live up to it and not be intimidated by the graceful tiny people.	122
Jeff Rich	Courage is action, not talk.	122
Shekhar Kapur	I admire people who come to politics because it takes a lot of courage to be in politics in India.	122
John Carpenter	When somebody who makes movies for a living - either as an actor, writer, producer or director - lives to be a certain age, you have to admire them. It is an act of courage to make a film - a courage for which you are not prepared in the rest of life. It is very hard and very destructive. But we do it because we love it.	122
Brene Brown	The best marriages are the ones where we can go out in the world and really put ourselves out there. A lot of times we'll fail, and sometimes we'll pull it off. But good marriages are when you can go home and know that your vulnerability will be honored as courage, and that you'll find support.	123
Ezra Taft Benson	The one man other than my father who made the most lasting impression was an uncle, Serge B. Benson. He taught me in three different classes - but above all, he taught me lessons in moral, physical, and intellectual courage that I have tried to apply in later life.	123
Q-Tip	I feel like Obama in a way. His idea that hope means not shrinking from a fight; it's the courage to reach for something. My music is that. Those are principles I try to embody.	123
Rudy Giuliani	Courage is managing fear to accomplish what you want to accomplish. And it's a great demonstration of love. It's really what love is. It's finding areas in which other people are more important than you.	123
Troy Polamalu	Pride is tough. You go to high school, and its 'pride,' 'courage;' it's all these types of words that we use to motivate us. I don't think there's anywhere in the Scriptures through the saints' lives where pride was ever a positive characteristic of anybody.	123
Twyla Tharp	What we want from modern dance is courage and audacity.	123
Bill Rancic	I'm a big fan of small business ownership. I think it's the backbone of American innovation. But to be successful, you first have to have the courage to go for it.	123
Earl Wilson	Courage is the art of being the only one who knows you're scared to death.	123
Liya Kebede	When our mothers are alive and healthy, they do extraordinary things... like the mothers of Plaza de Mayo, who marched in Argentinean plazas, defying the military junta dictatorship and demanding the whereabouts of their abducted children... or the Liberian mothers who faced down civil war armed only with T-shirts and courage.	123
Anna Held	How many women have the courage to start properly with a cold, cold bath early in the morning? I jump in, throw the water, cold as ice, and after the first plunge I am happy.	123
Georg Buchner	I'll know how to die with courage; that is easier than living.	123
Saina Nehwal	I really thank my parents for giving me the good sense to not get into anything wrong. There are many people around who like controversies, and I actually wonder how do they do it. I don't have the courage to get into controversies. There are people who love it; I find it silly.	123
Michelle Obama	And I love that even in the toughest moments, when we're all sweating it - when we're worried that the bill won't pass, and it seems like all is lost - Barack never lets himself get distracted by the chatter and the noise. Just like his grandmother, he just keeps getting up and moving forward... with patience and wisdom, and courage and grace.	124

Edward Gibbon	The courage of a soldier is found to be the cheapest and most common quality of human nature.	124

Ricky Williams	When you make that crossover from life to real life, when you're not treated as a child anymore but as a man, and you are no longer given the benefit of the doubt, it takes some courage to face that.	124
Victoria Pendleton	We don't talk about courage much in our everyday conversations, but I am comfortable with it now.	124
Jean Paul	A timid person is frightened before a danger, a coward during the time, and a courageous person afterward.	124

Thomas Aquinas	The principal act of courage is to endure and withstand dangers doggedly rather than to attack them.	125
Gary Zukav	Only choices made in love are compassionate. There are no exceptions. Do you have the courage to act with an empowered heart without attachment to the outcome? If not, you have no ability to give or experience compassion. That is the shocking truth.	125
Harold Prince	Nobody has yet proven that taking a chance and doing something unique that an audience isn't used to is a bad idea. What the theater lacks is that kind of courage.	125
Joseph Conrad	The last thing a woman will consent to discover in a man whom she loves, or on whom she simply depends, is want of courage.	125
Stephen Leacock	It takes a good deal of physical courage to ride a horse. This, however, I have. I get it at about forty cents a flask, and take it as required.	125
Walter Gropius	We are in the midst of a momentous catastrophe of world history, of a transformation of all aspects of life and of the entire inner human being This is perhaps fortunate for the artistic person, if he is strong enough to bear the consequences, because what we need is the courage to have inner experience.	125
Plautus	Courage in danger is half the battle.	125
Diana Quick	That was the fun of acting, being a blank canvas you could transform into the character - Indian princess, 20s vamp, Mother Courage, Oxford don, 94-year-old wife.	125
Maya Angelou	Courage is the most important of all the virtues, because without courage you can't practice any other virtue consistently. You can practice any virtue erratically, but nothing consistently without courage.	126

Marilyn Hacker	I started to send my work to journals when I was 26, which was just a question of when I got the courage up. They were mostly journals I had been reading for the previous six or seven years.	126
Maya Angelou	History, despite its wrenching pain, cannot be unlived, but if faced with courage, need not be lived again.	201
Gloria Steinem	We've begun to raise daughters more like sons... but few have the courage to raise our sons more like our daughters.	201
Hillary Clinton	No matter what you think about the Iraq war, there is one thing we can all agree on for the next days - we have to salute the courage and bravery of those who are risking their lives to vote and those brave Iraqi and American soldiers fighting to protect their right to vote.	201
Nikos Kazantzakis	When everything goes wrong, what a joy to test your soul and see if it has endurance and courage. An invisible and all-powerful enemy - some call him God, others the Devil, seem to rush upon us to destroy us; but we are not destroyed.	201
Thich Nhat Hanh	With compassion you can die for other people, like the mother who can die for her child.

But if you have fear of losing your status, your position, you will not have the courage to do it.	201
Baltasar Gracian	Without courage, wisdom bears no fruit.	201
Ben Horowitz	Hire sales people who are really smart problem solvers, but lack courage, hunger and competitiveness, and your company will go out of business.	201
Christina Aguilera	I look back at the looks I've had over the years. I'm proud of myself that I had the courage to experiment with crazy hairstyles and some fashion things. Would I do it again? No. But that's part of the learning process and getting from point A to point B.	201
Kirk Cameron	Faith in God... produces character; character will produce courage, courage to face the challenges of the day.	201

Peter Ustinov	Courage is often lack of insight, whereas cowardice in many cases is based on good information.	201

Geri Halliwell	I do get scared, but I think - like it says in another book I've read - feel the fear and do it anyway. I try to have courage, pray a little bit and work through it. I'd rather try, even if I fail.	201
John W. Gardner	Leaders come in many forms, with many styles and diverse qualities. There are quiet leaders and leaders one can hear in the next county. Some find strength in eloquence, some in judgment, some in courage.	201
Mohsin Hamid	I think there's a growing courage among the younger generation of American writers. Because of the more superficial treatment of characters taking place in cinema, they have had to deal with that by digging deeper into who these people are.	201
Paul Greengrass	I think there's something about a character facing the huge problems and challenges of the contemporary world and meeting them with - head on with courage, allowing for darkness and mistake, but ultimately always moral. That's incredibly, incredibly inspiring, and that's honestly what I think.	201
Tahar Ben Jelloun	Intellectuals try to keep going. But their situation is very difficult. Those who have had the courage to voice their opposition have often paid a very high price.	201
Austin Seferian-Jenkins	You have setbacks in your life, and adversity. You can be discouraged about it or have courage to get through it and be better.	201
John Cornyn	You can always find a reason to say no. It's the easiest vote. It's also not exactly a red badge of courage.	201
Plato	Courage is knowing what not to fear.	202
Antonin Scalia	If I have brought any message today, it is this: Have the courage to have your wisdom regarded as stupidity. Be fools for Christ. And have the courage to suffer the contempt of the sophisticated world.	202
David Cameron	Because with courage and conviction I believe we can deliver a more flexible, adaptable and open European Union in which the interests and ambitions of all its members can be met.	202

Ovid	Happy are those who dare courageously to defend what they love.	202
Robert Green Ingersoll	It is a blessed thing that in every age some one has had the individuality enough and courage enough to stand by his own convictions.	202

Bill Clegg	Navigating a nonsober world of restaurants and bars, dinner parties, and benefits is like anything that requires practice.

You stumble, you worry, and then there are unexpected moments of grace that give you the courage to keep going.	203
George Lois	In professional work - certainly in the arts and graphics - 99% of people have zero courage. They blow with the wind.	203

Mason Cooley	Every day begins with an act of courage and hope: getting out of bed.	204

Pico Iyer	It takes courage, of course, to step out of the fray, as it takes courage to do anything that's necessary, whether tending to a loved one on her deathbed or turning away from that sugarcoated doughnut.	204
Juan Williams	If his presidency is to represent the full power of the idea that black Americans are just like everyone else - fully human and fully capable of intellect, courage and patriotism - then Barack Obama has to be subject to the same rough and tumble of political criticism experienced by his predecessors.	204
Jeff Koons	I try to be a truthful artist and I try to show a level of courage. I enjoy that. I'm a messenger.	204
Napoleon Bonaparte	Courage is like love; it must have hope for nourishment.	205

Bindi Irwin	It's so easy to be there when it's all sunshine, but it really takes strength and courage to be there for each other during the dark times.	205

Martha Stewart	Everywhere I go, I always look for creative entrepreneurs, whether it's artisans and craftsmen, small farmers and gardeners, or restaurateurs who use fresh, locally sourced ingredients.

Publilius Syrus	Audacity augments courage; hesitation, fear.	205

Euripides	To persevere, trusting in what hopes he has, is courage in a man.	206
Anne Morrow Lindbergh	It takes as much courage to have tried and failed as it does to have tried and succeeded.	206
Ben Horowitz	In all the difficult decisions that I made through the course of running Loudcloud and Opsware, I never once felt brave. In fact, I often felt scared to death. I never lost those feelings, but after much practice, I learned to ignore them. That learning process might also be called the courage development process.	206
Ed Koch	No, I am not a homosexual. If I were a homosexual, I would hope I would have the courage to say so. What's cruel is that you are forcing me to say I am not a homosexual. This means you are putting homosexuals down. I don't want to do that.	206
Joseph Conrad	The sea - this truth must be confessed - has no generosity. No display of manly qualities - courage, hardihood, endurance, faithfulness - has ever been known to touch its irresponsible consciousness of power.	206
Kate Winslet	What I am very, very moved and struck by is that so many people in the world are often living a life that they hadn't planned for themselves. And they wake up one day and say, 'Hang on. Who am I? Is this really me? Is this what I really wanted?' And also, 'Can I change it? Have I got the courage to change it?'	206
Rob Lowe	In acting, there's a type of courage you're recognized for all the time. You lose 100 pounds and play a guy with AIDS, and you get rewarded. But, in life, doing what is courageous is quiet, and no one knows about it. Courage is someone making sacrifices for their family or making selfless decisions for what they hope or feel.	206
William Hazlitt	We are very much what others think of us. The reception our observations meet with gives us courage to proceed, or damps our efforts.	206
James Hillman	The older people that one admires seem to be fearless. They go right out into the world. It's astounding. Maybe they can't see or they can't hear, but they walk out into the street and take life as it comes. They're models of courage, in a strange way.	206
Kirstie Alley	When I was straight, I had the courage and energy to become an actress. I owe my career to my will to stop using.	206
Stacy Schiff	When finally I mustered the courage to tell a novelist friend that I was talking to editors about a biography, her reply was, 'Oh, that's okay. That's not a real book.'	206
Napoleon Bonaparte	The first virtue in a soldier is endurance of fatigue; courage is only the second virtue.	207
Thomas A. Edison	Be courageous. I have seen many depressions in business. Always America has emerged from these stronger and more prosperous. Be brave as your fathers before you. Have faith! Go forward!	207
Elliott Abrams	The courage of the Syrian protesters is remarkable, for they face prison, torture, or death every time they lift a banner.	207
Kailash Satyarthi	The power of youth is the common wealth for the entire world. The faces of young people are the faces of our past, our present and our future. No segment in the society can match with the power, idealism, enthusiasm and courage of the young people.	207
Rahm Emanuel	Today, because of President Obama's courage, kids can stay on their parent's plan until they are 26. Insurers cannot kick you off your policy because you have hit your limit. They will not be able to deny you because you have a pre-existing condition.	207
Les Brown	It takes someone with a vision of the possibilities to attain new levels of experience. Someone with the courage to live his dreams.	208
Blake Lively	There are looks that I see on other people that I think would look horrible on me, but I think if somebody has the courage to be really daring and try something outlandish, then more power to them. That's just encouraging and inspiring.	208
Gerry Adams	Such decisions will be far reaching and difficult. But you never lacked courage in the past. Your courage is now needed for the future.	208
Oriana Fallaci	I have reached the conclusion that those who have physical courage also have moral courage. Physical courage is a great test.	208
Sharon Stone	TV is so different from the movies. It takes a lot of stamina because you work such long hours. It is really challenging. You are learning the next day's lines while you are shooting today's scenes. I found courage I never realised I had. I hope to do more.	208
Steve Buscemi	When I moved to the East Village in the late seventies, I wanted to be a street performer, so I practiced daily. I never did work up the skills or the courage to perform on the street, though.	208
Chad Hurley	I think a lot of people may have a unique insight or some idea that they feel could be a great solution for a particular problem, but for some reason never have a chance to try or never have the courage or maybe the self-doubt. Really, it's best just to remain naive and continue to work on things and see if people have the same problems.	208
Daryl Hall	If you are a superstar, or whatever you want to call yourself, a person who's had outrageous success, and you decide to go indie and tell the record companies to screw themselves? That takes a certain amount of courage. And bullheadedness, really.	208
Taya Kyle	My hope for this country is that we remain a people who value freedom, who have the courage to face the realities with faithful hearts instead of anxious ones.	208
Wladimir Klitschko	I have decided to make a personal message to David Haye. I want him to fight me, to be a man. I wish there will be enough excitement, pressure and courage for David Haye to fight me.	208
Apollonius of Tyana	As soldiers need not only courage but tactics also, so does a philosopher need not only courage and philosophy but discernment also, to tell what his right time of dying is - so that he neither seek it nor flee it.	208
Ellen Key	If, in the coming thousand years, a feminine culture shall really supplement the masculine, then this will be exactly in the measure in which women have the courage to create and to act as most feminists now do not even dare think.	209
Harrison Ford	I don't like baseball movies. I like movies about moral courage and people who are indomitable and courageous and right.	209
Naomi Watts	Maybe in the workplace I have more courage than other areas in my life.	209
Nikki Haley	The people of South Carolina support conservatives who are trying to push real change, and the people of South Carolina expect their presidential candidates to back them up when they show courage.	209
Regina Brett	If you want to lose 40 pounds, you order salad instead of fries. If you want to be a better friend, you take the phone call instead of screening it. If you want to write a novel, you sit down and write a single paragraph. It's scary to make major changes, but we usually have enough courage to take the next right step.	209
Suze Orman	A wise woman recognizes when her life is out of balance and summons the courage to act to correct it, she knows the meaning of true generosity, happiness is the reward for a life lived in harmony, with a courage and grace.	209
Jonathan Sacks	We are biological creatures. We are born, we live, we die. There is no transcendent purpose to existence. At best we are creatures of reason, and by using reason we can cure ourselves of emotional excess. Purged of both hope and fear, we find courage in the face of helplessness, insignificance and uncertainty.	209
Saint Teresa of Avila	To have courage for whatever comes in life - everything lies in that.	210
Christopher Morley	The courage of the poet is to keep ajar the door that leads into madness.	210
Diane von Furstenberg	I never modeled myself after anyone. The person who had most influence on me was my mother, but it was really for her strength and courage more than her style, even though she had a lot of style. In a weird way, looking at pictures of me when I was 17 or 18, I was dressing the same way. I haven't changed very much.	210
Jill Scott	At my aunt's funeral, I promised myself that I wouldn't be bound by the belief that I'm supposed to stay in anything - whether it's a relationship, a job, a house, or a circumstance - if it makes me miserable. She gave me the courage to find my own happiness.	210
Mother Angelica	St. Paul did not want the sufferings encountered by being a Christian to discourage or dishearten anyone. He realized that when the Christian saw the blessings and grace that poured upon him after his trials, he would gain courage to suffer in his turn.	210
Jeff Fortenberry	Based on my experience, I believe that Ben Sasse has the right policy background, a notable commitment to public service - and, perhaps most importantly, the courage - to help renew our country.	210
John C. Mather	My mother's father, Hobart Cromwell, was a bacteriologist with Abbott Laboratories in suburban Chicago. I never got to know him well, as he died very young, but he was always a heroic figure in our family, wise and gentle and intelligent by reputation, with the courage to fight against the McCarthyites.	210
Erma Bombeck	It takes a lot of courage to show your dreams to someone else.	211
Lin-Manuel Miranda	'West Wing' was huge. Like 'Hamilton,' it pulls back the curtain on how decision-making happens at the highest level, or at least how you hope it would be. The amount of information Aaron Sorkin packs into a scene gave me this courage to trust the audience to keep up.	211
Gary Oldman	Rather like Batman, I embody the themes of the movie which are the values of family, courage and compassion and a sense of right and wrong, good and bad and justice.	211
N. R. Narayana Murthy	Often times I have been asked about the attributes for success, and I have said that you need two attributes for succeeding as an entrepreneur: one, courage, second, luck.	211
Salma Hayek	I realize now that I've hoped to be great - as an actress, as a mother - because I want to embody the greatness of women who didn't get to be all they could have been. Their dignity, their courage, and their brilliance make me strive to be better. They're a part of me.	211
Tadao Ando	At the same time, I would add that the American people have a lot of courage.	211
Thomas a Kempis	Wait for the Lord. Behave yourself manfully, and be of good courage. Do not be faithless, but stay in your place and do not turn back.	211
Plautus	Courage easily finds its own eloquence.	211
Brigitte Bardot	I have the courage of my convictions.	212
Graham Greene	People talk about the courage of condemned men walking to the place of execution: sometimes it needs as much courage to walk with any kind of bearing towards another person's habitual misery.	212
Henri Frederic Amiel	To live we must conquer incessantly, we must have the courage to be happy.	212
Kevin McCarthy	If elected Speaker, I promise you that we will have the courage to lead the fight for our conservative principles and make our case to the American people. But we will also have the wisdom to listen to our constituents and each other so that we always move forward together.	212
Plutarch	Courage stands halfway between cowardice and rashness, one of which is a lack, the other an excess of courage.	212
Publilius Syrus	Valor grows by daring, fear by holding back.	212
Portia de Rossi	The most important thing for me was to never, ever, ever deny it. But I didn't really have the courage to talk about it. I was thinking, The people who need to know I'm gay know.	212
Jeff Ament	With Pearl Jam, everybody is so good at what they do, it's hard to get up the courage to say, 'Can I sing this part,' or, 'I want to play guitar.'	212
Ronald Reagan	Above all, we must realize that no arsenal, or no weapon in the arsenals of the world, is so formidable as the will and moral courage of free men and women. It is a weapon our adversaries in today's world do not have.	213
Billy Graham	Believers, look up - take courage. The angels are nearer than you think.	213
Leo Buscaglia	I have too much respect for people to try to control them. But they are estranged from love, afraid to reach out and touch one another. We're afraid to appear sentimental or speak in platitudes because people will say, 'What a jerk!' It takes courage in our culture to be a lover.	213
Virgil	Who asks whether the enemy was defeated by strategy or valor?	213
Charles Stanley	When God speaks, oftentimes His voice will call for an act of courage on our part.	213
Hubert H. Humphrey	I have seen in the Halls of Congress more idealism, more humanness, more compassion, more profiles of courage than in any other institution that I have ever known.	213
Cindy Sheehan	I don't - you know, I'm very disillusioned with our political system. If we don't wake up in America and realize that we have to vote out of our courage and integrity for candidates who reflect our own beatitudes, and not the beatitudes of the war machine and the corporations, we are - we're doomed.	213
Lesley Nicol	I never imagined I'd go into acting, but I always loved drama, and when I was 16, I discovered the Library Theatre up the road. So I plucked up courage and asked if I could watch rehearsals. It was like Heaven.	213
Anton Corbijn	For many years I wanted to do a film, but I never had the courage to clear my desk and say, 'OK I'll take a year off and do a film.'	213
John Cusack	Poe had this curious kind of alchemical courage, where he took all the terrible things and terrors that happened in his life, all this shame and fear and pain, and turned them into great works of art. He was a complex, brilliant person who was just wired too tight.	213
George Santayana	Religion in its humility restores man to his only dignity, the courage to live by grace.	214
Brene Brown	Guilt is just as powerful, but its influence is positive, while shame's is destructive. Shame erodes our courage and fuels disengagement.	214
Gore Vidal	My father once said something very shrewd about me to a woman journalist who had told him how courageous she thought I was for always speaking my mind. My father said, 'If you couldn't care less what anyone says about you, then it's not courage.'	214
Chris Crutcher	What I hope my writing reflects... is a sense of the connections between all human beings... and a different perspective on the true nature of courage. For me, those are things worth exploring and writing about.	214
Martin O'Malley	Justice must be done in investigating the tragic death of Mr. Freddie Gray. His family deserves our deepest sympathy and respect for their loss, and our admiration for their courage in calling us, as a city, to act as our better selves.	214
Desmond Tutu	Peace comes when you talk to the guy you most hate. And that's where the courage of a leader comes, because when you sit down with your enemy, you as a leader must already have very considerable confidence from your own constituency.	215
Saint Ignatius	Remember that the good angels do what they can to preserve men from sin and obtain God's honor. But they do not lose courage when men fail.	215
Sharon Salzberg	I think we spend so much of our lives trying to pretend that we know what's going to happen next. In fact we don't. To recognize that we don't know even what will happen this afternoon and yet having the courage to move forward - that's one meaning of faith.	215
Arnold Schwarzenegger	Political courage is not political suicide.	216
Les Brown	A lot of people do not muster the courage to live their dreams because they are afraid to die.	216
Lucius Annaeus Seneca	Sometimes even to live is an act of courage.	216
Geri Halliwell	The thing is, when I feel like I have to lose weight, the opposite happens. I remember stuffing loads of chocolate on the plane to the shoot, and I thought, 'Why don't you have the courage to show up in a body that's natural, not overly worked out?'	216
Marv Levy	My father Sam, by his lifelong example, displayed for me the virtues of an honest day's work and of great personal courage.	216
George Bernard Shaw	The only service a friend can really render is to keep up your courage by holding up to you a mirror in which you can see a noble image of yourself.	217
John Stuart Mill	The amount of eccentricity in a society has generally been proportional to the amount of genius, mental vigor, and moral courage it contained. That so few now dare to be eccentric marks the chief danger of the time.	217
Catherine Deneuve	I have no physical courage, I've asked for a double.	217
Elia Kazan	I want to thank the Academy for its courage and generosity.	217
Marquis de Lafayette	The continental troops have as much courage and real discipline as those that are opposed to them. They are more inured to privation, more patient than Europeans, who, on these two points, cannot be compared to them.	217
Phil Klay	War is an arena for the display of courage and virtue. Or war is politics by other means. War is a quasi-mystical experience where you get in touch with the real. There are millions of narratives we impose to try to make sense of war.	217
Scott Walker	What makes America amazing is that there have always been men and women of courage who were willing to think more about the future of their children and grandchildren than they did about their own political careers.	217
Richard Flanagan	In all the writers I admire, the common detonator is their courage to walk naked.	217
Martin Luther King, Jr.	We must build dikes of courage to hold back the flood of fear.	218
Erma Bombeck	I have a hat. It is graceful and feminine and give me a certain dignity, as if I were attending a state funeral or something. Someday I may get up enough courage to wear it, instead of carrying it.	218
Bear Grylls	Some of the greatest survivors have been women. Look at the courage so many women have shown after surviving earthquakes in the rubble for days on end.	218
Brene Brown	As a shame researcher, I know that the very best thing to do in the midst of a shame attack is totally counterintuitive: Practice courage and reach out!	218
Tom Brokaw	The most memorable interviews for me are folks whose names I don't know: young civil rights leaders in the South, showing great courage as they walked into a town in the dark of night. A doctor working for 'Doctors Without Borders' in Somalia, operating by kerosene light in a tent. Those are the kinds of people that linger in your memory.	218
Bianca Jagger	Howard Dean has been successful because he was clear in his opposition to the war. People appreciate a politician with the courage to say, I oppose this war.	218
Aristotle	Courage is the first of human qualities because it is the quality which guarantees the others.	219
Oprah Winfrey	I have a lot of things to prove to myself. One is that I can live my life fearlessly.	219
Ai Weiwei	The 'Bird's Nest' National Stadium, which I helped to conceive, is designed to embody the Olympic spirit of 'fair competition.' It tells people that freedom is possible but needs fairness, courage and strength.	219
Anatole France	Suffering! We owe to it all that is good in us, all that gives value to life; we owe to it pity, we owe to it courage, we owe to it all the virtues.	219
Diane Ackerman	I'm fascinated how often and with what whole-heartedness people will risk their lives to perform acts of courage, sacrifice, and compassion for total strangers.	219
Emily Mortimer	I'm still shy - I'm no good at my children's parent-teacher conferences, and I'm slowly learning how to ask for what I want. But I now know that I have a reserve of courage to draw upon when I really need it. There's nothing that I'm too scared to have a go at.	219
Martin Jacques	Two European nations emerged with credit from the Iraq disaster: France and Germany. Both had the courage to withstand the Bush administration and oppose the U.S.-led invasion.	219
Robert Louis Stevenson	Keep your fears to yourself, but share your courage with others.	220
Lech Walesa	Lying at the root of the social agreements of 1980 are the courage, sense of responsibility, and the solidarity of the working people. Both sides have then recognized that an accord must be reached if bloodshed is to be prevented.	220
Suze Orman	In all realms of life it takes courage to stretch your limits, express your power, and fulfill your potential... it's no different in the financial realm.	220
Jeff Goodell	Obama wants to be thought of as the president who freed us from foreign oil. But if he doesn't show some political courage, he may well be remembered as the president who cooked the planet.	220
Lao Tzu	Simulated disorder postulates perfect discipline; simulated fear postulates courage; simulated weakness postulates strength.	221
Erma Bombeck	All of us have moments in our lives that test our courage. Taking children into a house with a white carpet is one of them.	221
George Bernard Shaw	I never thought much of the courage of a lion tamer. Inside the cage he is at least safe from people.	221
John Stuart Mill	Eccentricity has always abounded when and where strength of character had abounded; and the amount of eccentricity in a society has generally been proportional to the amount of genius, mental vigor, and courage which it contained.	221
Brene Brown	The difficult thing is that vulnerability is the first thing I look for in you and the last thing I'm willing to show you. In you, it's courage and daring. In me, it's weakness.	221
Ehud Olmert	For me, Arik Sharon - I remember his courage and inspiration. I want to remember him the way he really was, not as an aging 80-year-old man living in bed helpless and unconscious.	221
Joe Garcia	It shows courage, and it shows commitment to move beyond the status-quo politics of rhetoric, which is all the Cuban-American community has received from any party for the last half century.	221
Mignon McLaughlin	Courage can't see around corners but goes around them anyway.	222
Robert Green Ingersoll	Courage without conscience is a wild beast.	223
John Rhys-Davies	I've always been attracted to films which explore the qualities of courage.	223
Oscar Wilde	Do you really think it is weakness that yields to temptation? I tell you that there are terrible temptations which it requires strength, strength and courage to yield to.	224
Charles Stanley	You have to have courage to be obedient to God.	224
Dan Rather	What separated Ed Murrow from the rest of the pack was courage.	224
John Rhys-Davies	Given the fact that I have a family and responsibilities, it's the mark of a man to find the courage to do what is right in the face of oppressive evil.	224
George W. Bush	Today we affirm a new commitment to live out our nation's promise through civility, courage, compassion and character.	225
Al Gore	While President Bush likes to project an image of strength and courage, the real truth is that in the presence of his large financial contributors, he is a moral coward.	225
Loretta Young	Fashion should not be expected to serve in the stead of courage or character.	225
William Godwin	In the two novels I have published, it was my fortune at different times, and from different persons, to hear the most unqualified censure long before it was possible for me to hear the voice of the public. But my temper was not altered, nor my courage subdued.	225
George W. Bush	Great tragedy has come to us, and we are meeting it with the best that is in our country, with courage and concern for others because this is America. This is who we are.	226
Lucius Annaeus Seneca	He who is brave is free.	226
Orison Swett Marden	There can be no great courage where there is no confidence or assurance, and half the battle is in the conviction that we can do what we undertake.	226
Warren Spector	$200, 300 million games, I'm a little scared about that; there aren't a lot of companies that have the resources or the courage to spend that much.	226
Bob Woodward	Deep Throat's information, and in my view, courage, allowed the newspaper to use what he knew and suspected.	226
Joshua Oppenheimer	All we can do is find the courage to stand still and to look backwards.	226
John Muir	The more I see of deer, the more I admire them as mountaineers. They make their way into the heart of the roughest solitudes with smooth reserve of strength, through dense belts of brush and forest encumbered with fallen trees and boulder piles, across canons, roaring streams, and snow-fields, ever showing forth beauty and courage.	301
Liz Phair	You have to do what you need to do as an artist. You have to have that courage.	301
Deepak Chopra	For thousands of years, human beings have been obsessed with beauty, truth, love, honor, altruism, courage, social relationships, art, and God. They all go together as subjective experiences, and it's a straw man to set God up as the delusion. If he is, then so is truth itself or beauty itself.	302
Regina Brett	It takes courage to sit on a jury. How many of us want to decide the fate of another person's life or freedom? How many of us want to hold that kind of power in our hands?	302
Madeleine M. Kunin	I'm not going to be bullied or pushed around by the group of the day. You've got to have political courage. You've got to have your own inner beliefs.	302
Michael Leunig	Art, it seems to me, doesn't need freedom so much as it needs courage and love - some would call it 'soul' or 'Eros.'	302
Julia Stiles	I'm slowly working up the courage to sing in front of other people, but I can carry a tune. I do some mean karaoke.	302
Taylor Swift	A lot of people ask me, 'How did you have the courage to walk up to record labels when you were 12 or 13 and jump right into the music industry?' It's because I knew I could never feel the kind of rejection that I felt in middle school. Because in the music industry, if they're gonna say no to you, at least they're gonna be polite about it.	303
Kirk Cameron	If the anti-Christian agenda will say, 'Here's your identity, you're an evolved amoeba who ought to just go do whatever you want and don't let anybody tell you different,' then they can get you to throw your faith, your character, your courage, and your liberty right out the window.	303
Michael T. Flynn	I think what - I think what the American people is looking for is they are looking for moral and intellectual courage and clarity, and not a sense of passivity or confusion.	303
Lady Gaga	In fact, my courage and my bravery at a young age was the thing I was bullied for, a kind of 'Who do you think you are?'	304
Ani DiFranco	When I first started writing songs and being very explicit, it was hard, but one of the main things people respond to in my writing is that 'just say it' attitude of my songs. There really is nothing personal or private; it's all universal, if you can just find the courage to be open about your life.	304
Ben Bernanke	When the economic well-being of their nation demanded a strong and creative response, my colleagues at the Federal Reserve... mustered the moral courage to do what was necessary.	304
Debbie Ford	What I would say to anybody facing any life challenge or disease is that that is courage - to choose life, to keep looking at what's good.	304
Emmanuel Macron	Believe in individual initiatives, in courage, in risk.	304
Peter Thiel	We live in a world in which courage is in less supply than genius.	304
Jim DeMint	I want to find the candidates who understand the principles of American exceptionalism and have the character, the courage, and the confidence to actually lead the greatest nation in the world.	304
Confucius	To see what is right and not to do it is want of courage, or of principle.	305
Brie Larson	To find the courage to do what I want to do for myself has been hard.	305
Elizabeth Esty	My brother had the courage to come out in 1978, when equality was still a distant dream.	305
Karen Salmansohn	Basically, discipline, effort, patience and courage are hugely important core values for kids to grow up embracing.	305
Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni	I realise that a novel and a film are different mediums. As artistes, we need to respect other artistes. It also needs a lot of courage to take risks to experiment and interpret known literary works.	305
Mark Twain	It is curious that physical courage should be so common in the world and moral courage so rare.	306
Virgil	In strife who inquires whether stratagem or courage was used?	306
Richard P. Feynman	When I was a young man, Dirac was my hero. He made a breakthrough, a new method of doing physics. He had the courage to simply guess at the form of an equation, the equation we now call the Dirac equation, and to try to interpret it afterwards.	306
Barbara Kingsolver	It takes some courage to write fiction about politically controversial topics. The dread is you'll be labeled a political writer.	307
Joseph Addison	Courage that grows from constitution often forsakes a man when he has occasion for it; courage which arises from a sense of duty acts; in a uniform manner.	308
Robert Kennedy	The Gross National Product measures neither our wit nor our courage, neither our wisdom nor our learning, neither our compassion nor our devotion to our country. It measures everything, in short, except that which makes life worthwhile, and it can tell us everything about America - except whether we are proud to be Americans.	309
Angela Merkel	During the course of 1989, more and more East Germans lost their fears of the state's repression and chicanery and went out on the streets. There was no turning back then. It is thanks to their courage the Wall was opened.	309
Caitlin Moran	Watching 'Girls' has just given me renewed courage.	309
Lao Tzu	From caring comes courage.	311
A. P. J. Abdul Kalam	When we tackle obstacles, we find hidden reserves of courage and resilience we did not know we had. And it is only when we are faced with failure do we realise that these resources were always there within us. We only need to find them and move on with our lives.	311
Noam Chomsky	What happened in the missile crisis in October 1962 has been prettified to make it look as if acts of courage and thoughtfulness abounded. The truth is that the whole episode was almost insane.	312
Confucius	Wisdom, compassion, and courage are the three universally recognized moral qualities of men.	313
Robert Green Ingersoll	We need men with moral courage to speak and write their real thoughts, and to stand by their convictions, even to the very death.	313
Jerry Hall	I really am glad that the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children has had the courage to stand up and say that children should not be hit under any circumstances. I am a committed supporter of this campaigning charity for children.	313
Leonardo da Vinci	Just as courage is the danger of life, so is fear its safeguard.	314
Virginia Woolf	This soul, or life within us, by no means agrees with the life outside us. If one has the courage to ask her what she thinks, she is always saying the very opposite to what other people say.	314
Barbara Kingsolver	Readers of fiction read, I think, for a deeper embrace of the world, of reality. And that's brave. I never get over being thankful for that - for the courage of my readers.	314
Guy Kawasaki	Different parts of the world have different attitudes to failure. Arguably, it may take more courage to be an entrepreneur in Sydney, or Paris, or London, or Japan, or Singapore... but an entrepreneur sees the world for what it could be, not what it is.	314
Rick Perry	America needs jobs, smaller government, less spending and a president with the courage to offer more than yet another speech.	314
Jim DeMint	What we need is some people to stand up with the courage of their convictions, to do what they promised when they ran for election, and fight to stop Obamacare.	314
Hugh Grant	Courage is soldiers fighting on the front line, or people living on the bread line.	315
Michel de Montaigne	Valor is stability, not of legs and arms, but of courage and the soul.	316
Abdullah II of Jordan	I have the responsibility of over four million people, and I am in a position to do good, to be able to bring about a new life for my people, and I will continue to move in that direction. It's a burden, but it needs to be done, and you have to have the courage and wisdom to see it through.	316
W. E. B. Du Bois	In the South, there was absence of any leadership corresponding in breadth and courage to that of Abraham Lincoln.	317
Iris Apfel	People say, 'You have inspired me, you've given me courage...' They've gone so far as to say, 'You've changed my life!' And I would come back and say to my husband, 'I can't understand it - what kind of poor little life did she have if I had to come and change it?'	317
Angela Merkel	Let us answer the terrorists by living our values with courage.	317
Maya Angelou	I think we all have empathy. We may not have enough courage to display it.	319
Albert Camus	Real nobility is based on scorn, courage, and profound indifference.	319
Joe Biden	We're going to be OK because of the American people. They have more grit, determination and courage than you can imagine.	319
John F. Kennedy	The courage of life is often a less dramatic spectacle than the courage of a final moment; but it is no less a magnificent mixture of triumph and tragedy.	320
