"Success is never final. Failure is never fatal. Courage is what counts." - Sir Winston Churchill "The great need for anyone in authority is courage." - Alistair Cooke "Courage is grace under pressure." - Ernest Hemingway "Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgment that something else is more important than fear." - Ambrose Redmoon "Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear—not absence of fear. - Mark Twain "Courage is being scared to death, but saddling up anyway." - John Wayne "Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage." - Anais Nin "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." - Eleanor Roosevelt
