Motivational Quotes

Courage

Have courage for the great sorrows of life, and patience for the small ones. When you have laboriously accomplished your daily tasks, go to sleep in peace. God is awake.

- Hugo, Victor

Best Quotes about Courage

It takes vision and courage to create -- it takes faith and courage to prove.

Young, Owen D.

More firm and sure the hand of courage strikes, when it obeys the watchful eye of caution.

Thomson, James

The real acid test of courage is to be just your honest self when everybody is trying to be like somebody else.

Jensen, Andrew

Seneca

A great deal of talent is lost in the world for want of courage.

Smith, Sydney

You cannot fly like an eagle with wings of a wren.

Hudson, William Henry

It takes guts to get out of the ruts.

Schuller, Robert H.

There is another side to chivalry. If it dispenses leniency, it may with equal justification invoke control.

Adler, Freda

Discoveries are often made by not following instructions, by going off the main road, by trying the untried.

Tyger, Frank

I think of those who were truly great. The names of those who in their lives fought for life, Who wore at their hearts the fire's center.

Spender, Stephen

Rest not. Life is sweeping by; go and dare before you die. Something mighty and sublime, leave behind to conquer time.

Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

12.

It is impossible to win the race unless you venture to run, impossible to win the victory unless you dare to battle.

DeVos, Richard M.

13.

Here I stand; I can do no other. God help me. Amen!

Luther, Martin

14.

Courage is the price that life exacts for granting peace. The soul that knows it not, knows no release from little things; knows not the livid loneliness of fear.

Earhart, Amelia

15.

I'm very brave generally, he went on in a low voice: only today I happen to have a headache.

Carroll, Lewis

16.

Real courage is when you know you're licked before you begin, but you begin anyway and see it through no matter what.

Lee, Harper

17.

Half a man's wisdom goes with his courage.

Emerson, Ralph Waldo

18.

Do not fear, for those who are with us, are more than those who are with them. [2 Kings 6:16]

Bible

19.

The finest gift you can give anyone is encouragement. Yet, almost no one gets the encouragement they need to grow to their full potential. If everyone received the encouragement they need to grow, the genius in most everyone would blossom and the world would produce abundance beyond the wildest dreams. We would have more than one Einstein, Edison, Schweitzer, Mother Theresa, Dr. Salk and other great minds in a century.

Madwed, Sidney

20.

Courage is not limited to the battlefield or the Indianapolis 500 or bravely catching a thief in your house. The real tests of courage are much quieter. They are the inner tests, like remaining faithful when nobody's looking, like enduring pain when the room is empty, like standing alone when you're misunderstood.

21.

It requires courage not to surrender oneself to the ingenious or compassionate counsels of despair that would induce a man to eliminate himself from the ranks of the living; but it does not follow from this that every huckster who is fattened and nourished in self-confidence has more courage than the man who yielded to despair.

Kierkegaard, S°ren

22.

The brave man inattentive to his duty, is worth little more to his country than the coward who deserts in the hour of danger.

Jackson, Andrew

We need to find the courage to say NO to the things and people that are not serving us if we want to rediscover ourselves and live our lives with authenticity.

Angelis, Barbara De

24.

Courage is being scared to death - but saddling up anyway.

John Wayne

25.

I'd rather give my life than be afraid to give it.

Johnson, Lyndon B.

26.

Courage conquers all things: it even gives strength to the body.

Ovid

27.

Part of courage is simple consistency.

Noonan, Peggy

28.

Be daring, be different, be impractical, be anything that will assert integrity of purpose and imaginative vision against the play-it-safers, the creatures of the commonplace, the slaves of the ordinary.

Beaton, Sir Cecil

29.

The spirited horse, which will try to win the race of its own accord, will run even faster if encouraged.

Ovid

30.

The test of tolerance comes when we are in a majority; the test of courage comes when we are in a minority.

Stockman, Ralph W.

31.

Though the practice of chivalry fell even more sadly short of its theoretic standard than practice generally falls below theory, it remains one of the most precious monuments of the moral history of our race, as a remarkable instance of a concerted and organized attempt by a most disorganized and distracted society, to raise up and carry into practice a moral ideal greatly in advance of its social condition and institutions; so much so as to have been completely frustrated in the main object, yet never entirely inefficacious, and which has left a most sensible, and for the most part a highly valuable impress on the ideas and feelings of all subsequent times.

Mill, John Stuart

32.

Courage is a special kind of knowledge: the knowledge of how to fear what ought to be feared and how not to fear what ought no to be feared.

Ben-Gurion, David

33.

He that would be superior to external influences must first become superior to his own passions.

Johnson, Samuel

34.

Courage is getting away from death by continually coming within an inch of it.

Chesterton, Gilbert K.

35.

Courage enlarges, cowardice diminishes resources. In desperate straits the fears of the timid aggravate the dangers that imperil the brave.

Bovee, Christian Nevell

36.

You are merely not feeling equal to the tasks before you.

Carnegie, Dale

37.

You've got to jump off cliffs and build your wings on the way down.

Bradbury, Ray

38.

The pressure of adversity does not affect the mind of the brave man. It is more powerful than external circumstances.

Seneca

39.

Courage consists in equality to the problem before us.

Emerson, Ralph Waldo

40.

Courage is an everyday thing. When we look reality squarely in the eye and refuse to back away from our awareness, we are living courage.

41.

The ideas that have lighted my way and, time after time, have given me new courage to face life cheerfully have been Kindness, Beauty, and Truth.

Einstein, Albert

42.

Better to die on one's feet than to live on one's knees.

Zapata, Emiliano

43.

Perfect courage is to do without witnesses what one would be capable of doing with the world looking on.

La Rochefoucauld, Francois De

44.
