One isn’t necessarily born with courage, but one is born with potential. Without courage, we cannot practice any other virtue with consistency. We can’t be kind, true, merciful, generous, or honest.

Success is not final. Failure is not fatal. It’s the courage to continue that counts.

A man with nothing to fear is a man with nothing to love.

You become stronger and more confident by showing the courage to change the things you have control over.

Why not?

I need to respond. Everyone is watching. Waiting for me to make the next move.

Let each dawn find us courageous, brought closer, heeding the lights before the fight is over.

Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten.

The most difficult thing is the decision to act. The rest is merely tenacity. The fears are paper tigers. You can do anything you decide to do. You can act to change and control your life and the procedure. The process is its own reward.

If you want to do something, go for it — you’ve got nothing to lose.

Life is tough, my darling, but so are you.

Listen to me, you’ve got this. Seriously, you’ve got this.

You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, ‘I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.’ You must do the thing you think you cannot do.

Courage doesn’t always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, “I will try again tomorrow.”

I had my ups and downs and I fell a few times, but I did not give up. Don’t give up, because God’s reward is worth it all… I challenge you to listen, and see what God will do. Take a risk, chance it, trust in God… You will see what God can do with a willing heart.

Let your fears guide your path towards being courageous. Let these doubts serve as your light towards facing the ultimate battle. It is only a phase; once you have overcome fear, you become fearless. You are unstoppable.

Keeping your head up when you feel unable of doing so is the trick that makes the difference between winners and losers. Finding the energy and the courage to keep your head up is a sign that you have what it takes to fight off anything that life throws your way.

When you walk through a storm
Hold your head up high
And don’t be afraid of the dark.

Everything will be alright if you keep your head held high!

You’re going to be okay. You got this. You are so strong.

Hold on. Stay strong. It gets better.

When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you, till it seems as though you could not hold on a minute longer,

I have heard there are troubles of more than one kind. Some come from ahead and some come from behind. But I’ve bought a big bat. I’m all ready you see. Now my troubles are going to have troubles with me!

Beautiful girl, you can do hard things.

Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds.

You know that life is precious, brief, and oh so fragile. But what do you do with such vulnerability? One attitude is to live your life with fear and paranoia. Another response is to embrace the fleeting quality of life by seizing the day (carpe diem) and never taking things for granted.

Fear, to a great extent, is born of a story we tell ourselves, and so I chose to tell myself a different story from the one women are told. I decided I was safe. I was strong. I was brave. Nothing could vanquish me. Insisting on this story was a form of mind control, but for the most part, it worked.

Whatever the new month is bringing for you, be it good or bad; always keep that smile on your face no matter what.

the courage it took to get out of bed each
morning
to face the same things
over and over
was
enormous.

Never confuse a single defeat with a final defeat.

The warmth in our hearts is proof that there is light. It’s so small that it seems like even a tiny wind might blow it out…but the light is definitely there.

After all…you have courage in your heart.

You are stronger than you think. You have gotten through every bad day in your life, and you are undefeated.

Come on beautiful, pick yourself up, dry your eyes, everything will be okay, I promise.

It is only in our darkest hours that we may discover the true strength of the brilliant light within ourselves that can never, ever, be

I know that happy things and fun things eventually come to an end. But things that are scary and sad come to an end, too.

Challenge is important: It keeps you from becoming complacent and doing what is easiest — rather than what is best. The masses go down the

When you really want something, and you couple that with an understanding of your nature, of your spiritual being, and the law that govern you,

Man cannot discover new oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore.

Do not go gentle into that good night but rage, rage against the dying of the light.

The opposite of Taking A Risk is of course Playing It Safe. The latter would probably be a reasonable way of life for seventy or

Most of my life I was particularly terrified of speaking up, because I had a speech impediment, which made it difficult to pronounce certain letters, sounds, and I felt like I was fine writing on the page, but once I got on stage, I was worried my words might jumble and stumble.

I think sometimes our terror is a great kind of flag to symbolize a type of love or greatness. The fact that I was so afraid, that I knew there was a reason that I was tapping into every well of courage that I had to show up into that space. Because the space needed to be revisited; that space needed to be revamped and it needed to be reconciled with. And I thought one of the few and also most fervent ways we have to do that is with poems.

Not knowing when the dawn will come I open every door.

I think we all have empathy. We may not have enough courage to display it.

You are not your job. It does not define who you are or all that you have to offer. Your real value is based upon who you are, not what you do. The only thing you need to do is express your real self to the world. You’ve been conditioned to think this is unproductive or that you can’t make money at it. But you’ll never know true happiness and fulfillment until you find the courage to do it anyway. Learn to trust your inner wisdom, even if the whole world says you’re wrong.

Know that deep inside, you are resilient, brave and so much stronger and more powerful than your fears.

Goodnight. Sleep awaits those of us who dare to dream.

Do the right thing. It will gratify some people and astonish the rest.

Roman Pearce: Is that a torpedo?
Hobbs: Take the wheel!
Roman Pearce: What?

I have watched men suffer the anguish of imprisonment, defy appalling human cruelty… break for a moment, then recover inhuman strength to defy their enemies once more.

Courage is only an accumulation of small steps.

To that one soul reading this. I know you’re tired, you’re fed up, you’re so close to breaking, but there’s strength within you even when you feel weak. Keep fighting.

You are so much stronger than you think. Sometimes it seems like everything around you can break apart but you are able to hold it all together, you are strong and brave and the best part is that you always come back stronger.

The bravest thing you can do is keep going, even when you want to give up.

I think it’s important to talk about things that people might not want to talk about.

If you have a great idea, let nothing stop you from bringing it to life.

Don’t give up! I believe in you all.
A person’s a person, no matter how small!
And you very small persons will not have to die
If you make yourselves heard! So come on, now, and TRY!

Fear is a confession of weakness. What you fear is stronger than you, or you think it is, else you wouldn’t be afraid of it.

No matter what kind of challenges or difficulties or painful situations you go through in your life, we all have something deep within us that

It’s humbling to start fresh. It takes a lot of courage. But it can be reinvigorating. You just have to put your ego on a

Every day is a chance to start fresh and make changes. What will you do today?

A new month has arrived and there are a plethora of opportunities waiting for you. Go ahead and grab them before they vanish. Forget your setbacks in the past and face the future with courage.

My strength is as the strength of ten, because my heart is pure.

Be bold. New monthly challenges are here!

Take every chance, drop every fear.

One small crack does not mean that you are broken, it means that you were put to the test and you didn’t fall apart.

Be of good courage and be strong. Keep your head up high. You will not be someone’s victim, but you will be victorious.

Keeping your head high, needs courage. Surrendering happens with ease.

I want to grow old without facelifts… I want to have the courage to be loyal to the face I’ve made. Sometimes I think it would be easier to avoid old age, to die young, but then you’d never complete your life, would you? You’d never wholly know you.

If I’d observed all the rules I’d never have got anywhere.

May the Lord guide your steps today, and may He lead you to where you need to be. May He fill your heart with courage, and may you know His peace.

You have to develop ways so that you can take up for yourself, and then you take up for someone else. And so sooner or later, you have enough courage to really stand up for the human race and say, ‘I’m a representative.’

What is a fear of living? It’s being preeminently afraid of dying. It is not doing what you came here to do, out of timidity and spinelessness. The antidote is to take full responsibility for yourself – for the time you take up and the space you occupy. If you don’t know what you’re here to do, then just do some good.

History, despite its wrenching pain, cannot be unlived, but if faced with courage, need not be lived again.

Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope

We believe in you and in your ability to make good decisions and keep going when the odds seem stacked against us. So whether it’s

Don’t follow the path. Go where there is no path and begin the trail. When you start a new trail equipped with courage, strength and

My great hope is to laugh as much as I cry; to get my work done and try to love somebody and have the courage to accept the love in return.

The only thing is, people have to develop courage. Courage is the most important of all the virtues, because without courage you can’t practice any other virtue consistently. You can practice any virtue erratically, but nothing consistently without courage.

Life is all about starting over again. You get hurt, you let go, and you start over with a new attempt. Face it with courage and determination, and you’ll go far in life.

Maybe it’s time to leave it all behind.

Sometimes we have to fight for what we love and care about, but sometimes we have to find the strength to let it go.

The most fulfilling thing in life is realizing that you have the courage to let go of what you held onto for so long.

Today I am going to let my burdens go. I am going to face this day and have faith that everything will get better.

One of the most peaceful mindsets ever begins the moment you finally find the courage to let go of what you can’t change. It is

One of the happiest moments in life is when you find the courage to let go of what you can’t change.

Starting over is not a sign of failure, but a mark of courage — a willingness to give yourself and your life another chance.

Courage is the power to let go of the familiar.

There is no safe way to remain in an abusive relationship with a person who has no conscience. The only solution is to escape.

The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don’t do anything about it.

He who fights, can lose. He who doesn’t fight, has already lost.

Then I began writing. It was about a German aviator in World War I. Baron Von Himmlen. He flew a red Fokker. And he was not popular with his fellow fliers. He didn’t talk to them. He drank alone and he flew alone. He didn’t bother with women, although they all loved him. He was above that. He was too busy. He was busy shooting Allied plans out of the sky. Already he had shot down 110 and he war wasn’t over. His red Fokker, which he referred to as the “October Bird of Death,” was known everywhere. Even the enemy ground troops knew him as he often flew low over them, taking their gunfire and laughing, dropping bottles of champagne to them suspended from little parachutes. Baron Von Himmlen was never attacked by less than five Allied planes at a time. He was an ugly man with scars on his face, but he was beautiful if you looked long enough — it was in the eyes, his style, his courage, his fierce aloneness.

Brian: I hope you’re enjoying your last meal.
Deckard Shaw: This is it? This is all you want? A dozen men?
Sheppard: I think you’ll find it’s more than enough.
Dom: I’m ready to meet my maker. Are you?
Deckard Shaw: What were you expecting, Toretto? Catch me off guard? Me standing here, waving a white flag? Have you ever heard the saying: “The enemy of my enemy… is my friend”?
Dom: I don’t have friends. I got family.
Deckard Shaw: Well, I got a lot of friends.

Vegh, hantam mereka! (Vegh, I need your help).

It was, the difference between being dragged into the arena to face a battle to the death and walking into the arena with your head held high. Some people, perhaps, would say that there was little to choose between the two ways, but Dumbledore knew — and so do I, and so did my parents — that there was all the difference in the world.

I’m not going to be murdered.

Why would I go looking for someone who wants to kill me?

One thing it takes to accomplish something is courage.

Somehow, I can’t believe that there are any heights that can’t be scaled by a man who knows the secret of making dreams come true. The special secret it seems to me is summarized in four C’s. They are Curiosity, Courage, Confidence and Constancy. And the greatest of all is Confidence.

First, think. Second, believe. Third, dream. And finally, dare.

Ms. Honda, I can tie my tie faster than I used to and it looks better. And fewer of my vegetables have been dying lately.

Just as there are people who inflict pain, there are those who try to soothe that pain in themselves and others alike. That gives people

You make me sick, you and your pathetic girly whining… You’re not a MAN! You’re just a little kitty-cat who’s afraid to fight! Know what?!

Hiro-san… You can do things. You can be the WONDERFUL PRINCE who protects Kisa-san. Because inside you, Hiro-san… You do… Have courage.

Do not be afraid or dismayed. Do not fear of fret. The Lord has you by the hand and He will guide you through the journey of today. May you have a favourable day. Good morning.

You know what they say, Stasiak, if you want the career-changing big fish, you gotta be willing to put on the big boy panties and sail out to the deep water.

Russian Officer: Is that legal?
Riley: No. But are you gonna go in there and tell him?

Somebody do something! I’ve got a tank on my ass!

Letty: You’ve got some serious balls man.
Dom: I’ve been told.
Letty: You know you’re lucky I missed my shot.
Dom: I think you hit your mark.
Letty: Really… what is it with you? What, have you got a death wish or something?
Dom: If that’s what it takes. I just wanna race.
Letty: Might lose your car.
Dom: Let’s do it.
Letty: Your funeral.
Dom: Ride or die, remember?

You say what? This shit just went from mission: impossible to mission: in freaking sanity! Whatever man. I ain’t scared, I’m just letting you all know: going in that building it’s crazy!

Start the day with a motive: Be kind and have courage. I hope this motive helps you cheer for the rest of the day. May God bless you, my love.

This is the era of just redemption. We feared it at its inception. We did not feel prepared to be the heirs of such a terrifying hour, but within it, we found the power to author a new chapter, to offer hope and laughter to ourselves so while once we asked, how could we possibly prevail over catastrophe? Now we assert, how could catastrophe possibly prevail over us?

The only way to correctly predict
The future is to pave it,
Is to brave it.
The breakage is where we begin.
The rupture is for remembering.

We will not be turned around or interrupted by intimidation because we know our inaction and inertia will be the inheritance of the next generation. Our blunders become their burdens. But one thing is certain, if we merge mercy with might and might with right, then love becomes our legacy and change our children’s birthright.

So let us leave behind a country better than one we were left with.

When day comes, we step out of the shade aflame and unafraid. The new dawn blooms as we free it. For there is always light. If only we’re brave enough to see it. If only we’re brave enough to be it.

Food is good for the nerves and the spirit. Courage comes from the belly – all else is desperation.

Your touch makes the earth turn around, your kisses melt me away and give me the courage to meet another day.

We all admire the courageous person and quite often consider the individual who lacks courage, a coward. However, that is not how Earl Nightingale saw it. He said the opposite of courage was not cowardness, it was conformity. The next time you are encouraged to fall into line, to be a sport and everything in you says no – be courageous and go your own way. There is no compensation in conformity.

You must save the world.

The world cries for men who are strong; strong in conviction, strong to lead, to stand, to suffer.

I know I’ll have to do something when the time comes…but I think I already know what I’ll have to let go of.

It should be easy. I know what to do, and I know how to do it. It’s all so simple. I just need to face up to what I’ve been running from. That’s all. But it’s makin’ me a nervous wreck.

Wake Up Winners are wide awake; they are alive. Every day you will find them in the marketplace making things happen. The real winners are not just dreamers. Although they have dreams, they are doers: They realize their dreams. They are the bell ringers, always attempting to wake others up to the numerous opportunities life offers.

I asked for strength, and God gave me difficulties to make me strong. I asked for wisdom, and God gave me problems to learn to solve. I asked for prosperity, and God gave me a brain and brawn to work. I asked for courage, and God gave me dangers to overcome. I asked for love, and God gave me people to help. I asked for favors, and God gave me opportunities. I received nothing I wanted. I received everything I needed.

On and on you will hike, And I know you’ll hike far and face up to your problems whatever they are.

Well done. I see you found a battle worth fighting for.

By changing course. When the path you walk always leads back to yourself, you never get anywhere.

CRAZY-ASS WHITE BOY!

A battle is a day of your life. So we do one day at a time in self-discovery.

Live one day at a time, and never be afraid.

I can’t get the words out. I have to gather my courage. Courage…it’s time to be brave. I’m not going to put the lid back on. This feeling…can’t be stopped anymore. It’s time to be brave.

Don’t hate me. Tell me…everything’s okay. I was always so ashamed. I was ashamed of my weakness. But…I want you to say it. Just once…even if it’s a lie. I know it will give me the courage…to try and become strong.

New month, new beginnings. Always keep an open heart and an open mind.

Say goodbye to the past and hello to a new month with a new you.

Feeling inspired? You should be. It’s the start of a new month. Are you ready to take on the world? We are.

People say “never give up” but sometimes giving up is the best option because you realize you’re wasting your time.

She’s standing on a line between giving up and seeing how much more she can take.

I am not ashamed of my past; I am not ashamed of my humble beginnings.

Your light is gonna irritate a lot of unhealed people.

Never reject an idea, dream or goal because it will be hard work. Success rarely comes without it.

Anyone that ever accomplished anything, did not know how they were going to do it. They only knew they were going to do it.

One difference between successful people and all the rest is that successful people take action.

You can’t escape from a prison until you recognize you are in one. People who have chosen to live within the limits of their old beliefs continue to have the same experiences. It takes effort and commitment to break old patterns.

Most people are not going after what they want. Even some of the most serious goal seekers and goal setters, they’re going after what they think they can get. Set your sights higher.

Faith and fear both demand you believe in something you cannot see. You choose!

Nigga grew some nuts and now he clutch.

Makes sense to me. Sometimes starting over is exactly what a person needs. And I think it’s admirable. A lot of people don’t have the courage it takes to do something like that.

I pray that today is a day where you find strength when you’re weak. I pray that it’s a day when you find courage when you’re afraid. I pray that it’s a day when you find peace in the midst of chaos.

Good morning, my friend! Go forth in strength, courage, and grace!

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

These are the days for strong men to courageously expose wrong.

It takes more courage to reveal insecurities than to hide them, more strength to relate to people than to dominate them, more ‘manhood’ to abide by thought-out principles rather than blind reflex. Toughness is in the soul and spirit, not in muscles and an immature mind.

With each new experience of letting God be in control, we gain courage and reinforcement for daring to do it again and again.

What would life be if we had no courage to attempt anything?

Altogether, it is their discipline, pride, and courage,
that really help them out.

They only have ten hours a day to drive.
They have to think smart to survive.

For what it’s worth… it’s never too late, or in my case too early, to be whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit. Start whenever you want. You can change or stay the same. There are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you’ve never felt before. I hope you meet people who have a different point of view. I hope you live a life you’re proud of, and if you’re not, I hope you have the courage to start over again.

The courage of living is –
to believe
to love
to start – again.

The courage of living is –
to take risks,
to fail,
to get up, and to try again.
Try again differently.

Pride is holding your head up when everyone around you has theirs bowed. Courage is what makes you do it.

I have a theory that temporary defeat is nature’s way of strengthening us and giving us the courage necessary to reach our goals.

I don’t have the courage to bear a child. I’m thrilled to carry your child, Katsuya, but…children are human beings, right? Do I even have the right to give birth to another human being…? I haven’t lived a decent life by any standard, I know that. So I don’t know if I can give birth to another human being. If I’m fit to raise another human being. What if I can’t…? What if they’re unhappy because of me…? If they’re bullied because of me? What if they get hurt or cry? What if they tell me they wish they’d never been born?

You can’t scare me, I’m a truck driver.

A lot of people are too scared to admit that they’re still children. They do everything they can to avoid it. So people who can admit that have a lot of courage.

John Glenn’s life will long be remembered for his time in space, his courage, and his service to all Americans.

It takes courage to drive a big rig.

Have enough courage to start and enough heart to finish.

Just like that. From a hundred miles an hour to asleep in a nanosecond. I wanted so badly to lie down next to her on the couch, to wrap my arms around her and sleep. Not fuck, like in those movies. Not even have sex. Just sleep together in the most innocent sense of the phrase. But I lacked the courage and she had a boyfriend and I was gawky and she was gorgeous and I was hopelessly boring and she was endlessly fascinating. So I walked back to my room and collapsed on the bottom bunk, thinking that if people were rain, I was drizzle and she was hurricane.

I finally got the courage to ask you on a date. So just say yes, let the future fall into place.

Be faithful. Be courageous. His grace is enough. God pours forth his abundant grace in every step of the way, to bring goodness to them who love him. I hope you have a good morning.

If you are a lighthouse, you cannot hide yourself; if you hide yourself, you cannot be a lighthouse!
