Sometimes even to live is an act of courage.....




Courage is reckoned the greatest of all virtues; because, unless a man has that virtue, he has no security for preserving any other.....






Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that something else is more important than fear....







Every day you either see a scar or courage.  Where you dwell will define your struggle.....






Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen...






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





It is curious that physical courage should be so common in the world and moral courage so rare...






People are made of flesh and blood and a miracle fibre called courage....







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....






It was times like these when I thought my father, who hated guns and had never been to any wars, was the bravest man who ever lived.....






Courage is being afraid but going on anyhow......





Courage is doing what you're afraid to do.  There can be no courage unless you're scared.....






 A coward is a hero with a wife, kids, and a mortgage.....





Bravery is being the only one who knows you're afraid......






If God wanted us to be brave, why did He give us legs....? 






Sometimes the biggest act of courage is a small one.....






One man with courage makes a majority.....






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.....







It is easy to be brave from a safe distance....







A brave arm makes a short sword long.....





No one has yet computed how many imaginary triumphs are silently celebrated by people each year to keep up their courage......






I find that a great part of the information I have was acquired by looking up something and finding something else on the way....





Curiosity is a willing, a proud, an eager confession of ignorance....






The important thing is not to stop questioning.  Curiosity has its own reason for existing.  One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality....







Curiosity is little more than another name for Hope.....






If you read someone else's diary, you get what you deserve......







There are no foolish questions, and no man becomes a fool until he has stopped asking questions...






The one real object of education is to have a man in the condition of continually asking questions....







A peacefulness follows any decision, even the wrong one.....







When you have to make a choice and don't make it, that is in itself a choice......







Some persons are very decisive when it comes to avoiding decisions.......








Although every man believes that his decisions and resolutions involve the most multifarious factors, in reality they are mere oscillation between flight and longing......







Indecision becomes decision with time......







The doors we open and close each day decide the lifes we live......







To decide is to walk facing forward with nary a crick in your neck from looking back at the crossroads....






In a minute there is time for decisions and revisions which a minute will reverse.....




Silent gratitude isn't much use to anyone......




One can pay back the loan of gold, but one dies forever in debt to those who are kind.....






Unselfish and noble actions are the most radiant pages in the biography of souls.....






The only people with whom you should try to get even are those who have helped you.....







I would maintain that thanks are the highest form of thought, and that gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder.....






I would thank you from the bottom of my heart, but for you my heart has no bottom.....





Forget injuries, never forget kindnesses.....







The smallest act of kindness is worth more than the grandest intention.....






Gratitude is the memory of the heart.....





We can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our treasures.....






If you break your neck, if you have nothing to eat, if your house is on fire, then you got a problem.  Everything else is inconvenience......






Pain is inevitable.  Suffering is optional......







If you're going through hell, keep going.....






We have no right to ask when sorrow comes, "Why did this happen to me?" unless we ask the same question for every moment of happiness that comes our way.......






The robbed that smiles, steals something from the thief.............






I know God will not give me anything I can't handle.  I just wish that He didn't trust me so much...






 The only thing that overcomes hard luck is hard work....






We acquire the strength we have overcome.....





Enduring habits I hate.... Yes, at the very bottom of my soul I feel grateful to all my misery and bouts of sickness and everything about me that is imperfect, because this sort of thing leaves me with a hundred backdoors through which I can escape from enduring habits....






If I had a formula for bypassing trouble, I would not pass it round.  Trouble creates a capacity to handle it.  I don't embrace trouble; that's as bad as treating it as an enemy.  But I do say meet it as a friend, for you'll see a lot of it and had better be on speaking terms with it....






The healthy and strong individual is the one who asks for help when he needs it.  Whether he's got an abscess on his knee or in his soul......






Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers.....






Some luck lies in not getting what you thought you wanted but getting what you have, which once you have got it you may be smart enough to see is what you would have wanted had you known....






Who will tell whether one happy moment of love or the joy of breathing or walking on a bright morning and smelling the fresh air, is not worth all the suffering and effort which life implies.....





I ask not for a lighter burden, but for broader shoulders......







Birds sing after a storm; why shouldn't people feel as free to delight in whatever remains to them...? 






You have come into a hard world.  I know of only one easy place in it, and that is the grave.....






Things are never so bad they can't be made worse.....






If you don't like something change it; if you can't change it, change the way you think about it.....






The problem is not that there are problems.  The problem is expecting otherwise and thinking that having problems is a problem.....





A bad grade is only one letter in the Essay of life....






Sometimes in tragedy we find our life's purpose - the eye sheds a tear to find its focus.....






Smooth seas do not make skillful sailors.....





If you're in a bad situation, don't worry it'll change.  If you're in a good situation, don't worry it'll change....





The problem with troubleshooting is that trouble shoots back....






There are some defeats more triumphant than victories......






Adversity introduces a man to himself.....





Even our misfortunes are a part of our belongings....
