I've learned that to be courageous is to feel fear within, every step of the way. Courage does not take over, it fights and struggles through every word you say and every step you take. It's a battle or a dance as to whether to let it pervade. It takes courage to overcome, but it takes extreme fear to be courageous.

The quality that defines us as Americans is the courage to respond to being hit. The courage to root out and destroy the killers. And, most importantly, the courage to hold on to our values and protect our hard-won freedoms while doing it.

“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.”

“Courage is the greatest of all virtues, because if you haven't courage, you may not have an opportunity to use any of the others.”

“It was the players' idea and Alan deserved it. He showed unbelievable courage last week and it is that courage that convinces me he will be okay.”

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

Courage does not always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, 'I will try again tomorrow.

Vulnerability sounds like truth and feels like courage. Truth and courage aren't always comfortable, but they're never weakness.

Courage is the most important of all the virtues because without courage, you can't practice any other virtue consistently.

Courage is to act on your beliefs or opinions especially in spite of criticism.Not to act on someones idea of what your courage should be....
