Courage and perseverance have a magical talisman, before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish into air.
John Quincy Adams (1767 - 1848)
Courage is being scared to death - but saddling up anyway.
John Wayne (1907 - 1979)
Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear - not absence of fear.
Mark Twain (1835 - 1910)
It is curious that physical courage should be so common in the world and moral courage so rare.
Mark Twain (1835 - 1910)
A hero is no braver than an ordinary man, but he is braver five minutes longer.
Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803 - 1882)
Fortune helps the brave.
Terence (185 BC - 159 BC), Phormio
Few men are willing to brave the disapproval of their fellows, the censure of their colleagues, the wrath of their society. Moral courage is a rarer commodity than bravery in battle or great intelligence. Yet it is the one essential, vital quality for those who seek to change a world which yields most painfully to change.
Robert F. Kennedy (1925 - 1968), 1966 speech
Bravery never goes out of fashion.
William Makepeace Thackeray (1811 - 1863)
