1474- Courage!


Courage is being gracious under pressure. Success is the child of audacity.
Fortune befriends the bold.
No guts no glory.
Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage.
One man with courage makes a majority.
It is not the size of the dog in the fight, it is the size of the fight in the dog that counts.
When the going gets tough, the tough gets going.
____________________________ 

Courage is all about facing what we’re scared to do but know we need to do — and doing it. Its opposite is cowardice, its shadow recklessness. Courage is not fearlessness, but a resolute refusal to be paralyzed by fear and confusion, a deliberate turning and moving toward the dragon, step by conscious step, an activation of our will to persist in difficult conditions. Courage may falter and lose steam, but it does not quit, unless quitting is the more fitting and courageous choice.
