Courage - Without it, Nothing is Possible - A Collection of Quotes

"Bravery is being the only one who knows you're afraid."  ~ Franklin P. Jones
I never used to show people that I'm afraid or sad or disappointed... Though my face reveals it very easily, I usually keep my mouth tightly shut about such kinda feelings. I believed what Franklin P. Jones believed - the lie that bravery is not showing your feelings to people around you. But I no longer believe that and I actually disagree with Mr. Jones about it. There are lots of things one can write about bravery, courage and fearlessness, but why bother, when many amazingly wise people have written it down already with their great command of the language, immortalizing their words forever? :)
These are some great quotes I found in the World Wide Web:
"Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that something else is more important than fear."  ~Ambrose Redmoon

"Courage doesn't always roar.  Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says I'll try again tomorrow."  ~Mary Anne Radmacher

"Sometimes even to live is an act of courage."  ~Lucius Annaeus Seneca, Letters to Lucilius

"Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear - not absence of fear.  Except a creature be part coward it is not a compliment to say it is brave. ~Mark Twain, Pudd'nhead Wilson's Calendar, 1894

"Courage is being afraid but going on anyhow.~Dan Rather
 

"Courage is doing what you're afraid to do.  There can be no courage unless you're scared."  ~Edward Vernon Rickenbacker

"Sometimes the biggest act of courage is a small one. ~Lauren Raffo

"Some have been thought brave because they were afraid to run away." ~Thomas Fuller

"Fear and courage are brothers."  ~Proverb
"Courage is not simply one of the virtues, but the form of every virtue at the testing point."  ~C.S. Lewis

"When we are afraid we ought not to occupy ourselves with endeavoring to prove that there is no danger, but in strengthening ourselves to go on in spite of the danger."  ~Mark Rutherford

"True courage is not the brutal force of vulgar heroes, but the firm resolve of virtue and reason.~Alfred North Whitehead

"A man of courage never wants weapons."  ~Author Unknown

"I'm not funny.  What I am is brave."  ~Lucille Ball

"Courage is being scared to death... and saddling up anyway."  ~John Wayne
 

"Courage is to feel the daily daggers of relentless steel and keep on living."  ~Douglas Malloch

"A hero is no braver than an ordinary man, but he is braver five minutes longer."  ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

"In the beginning of a change, the patriot is a scarce man, and brave, and hated and scorned.  When his cause succeeds, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a patriot."  ~Mark Twain, Notebook, 1935

"I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand.  It's when you know you're licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what.  You rarely win, but sometimes you do. ~Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird

"Have the courage to live.  Anyone can die."  ~Robert Cody
