"Give us the fortitude to endure
the things which cannot be changed,
and the courage to change the things
which should be changed, and the wisdom
to know one from the other."
-Oliver J. Hart

"Courage is
almost a contradiction in terms:
it means a strong desire to live
taking the form of readiness to die."
-Gilbert K. Chesterton

"The greatest test of courage on earth
is to bear defeat without losing heart."
-Robert Green Ingersoll

"True courage is like a kite;
a contrary wind raises it higher."
-John Petit-Senn

"It takes vision and courage to create . . .
it takes faith and courage to prove."
-Owen D. Young

"Courage is always greatest
when blended with meekness;
intellectual ability is most admired
when it sparkles in the setting
of modest self-distrust; and never
does the human soul appear so strong
as when it foregoes revenge and dares
to forgive any injury."
-Author Unknown

"Last, but by no means least,
courage . . . moral courage,
the courage of one's convictions,
the courage to see things through.
The world is in a constant
conspiracy against the brave.
It's the age-old struggle . . .
the roar of the crowd on one side and
the voice of your conscience on the other."
-Douglas MacArthur
