Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage.

Success is never final, failure is never fatal. It's courage that counts.

Courage is rightly esteemed the first of human qualities... because it is the quality which guarantees all others.

The courage to be is the courage to accept oneself, in spite of being unacceptable.

Courage is contagious. When a brave man takes a stand, the spines of others are often stiffened.

If you could get up the courage to begin, you have the courage to succeed.

It requires more courage to suffer than to die.

Success means having the courage, the determination, and the will to become the person you believe you were meant to be.

A great part of courage is the courage of having done the thing before.

He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life.
