"Action
springs not
from thought, but from a readiness for responsibility."
Dietrich Bonhoeffer,
German Lutheran theologian
"Courage is the greatest of all the virtues. Because if you haven't courage, you may not
have an opportunity to use any of the others."
Samuel Johnson
"When
principles that
run against your deepest convictions begin to win the day, then battle
is your calling, and peace has become sin; you must, at the price of
dearest
peace, lay your convictions bare before friend and enemy, with all the
fire of your faith."
Abraham Kuyper
"Courage
is not simply
one of the virtues but the form of every virtue at the testing point."
C.S. Lewis
"It
is curious that
physical courage should be so common in the world, and moral courage so
rare."
Mark Twain
"Great
occasions do
not make heroes or cowards; they simply unveil them to the eyes of men.
Silently and imperceptibly, as we wake or sleep, we grow strong or
weak;
and at last some crisis shows what we have become."
Brooke Foss Westcott
