 Bravery is the capacity to perform properly even when scared half to death.--General Omar Bradley 

The bravest are surely those who have the clearest vision of what is before them, glory and danger alike, and yet notwithstanding, go out to meet it.--Thucydides 

Children are curious and are risk takers. They have lots of courage. They venture out into a world that is immense and dangerous. A child initially trusts life and the processes of life.--John Bradshaw 

"Come to the edge," He said. They said, "We are afraid." "Come to the edge," He said. They came. He pushed them...and they flew.--Guillaume Apollinaire

Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says I'll try again tomorrow.--Mary Anne Radmacher 

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.--David Ben-Gurion 

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

Courage is doing what you're afraid to do. There can be no courage unless you're scared.--Eddie Rickenbacker 

Courage is not a virtue or value among other personal values like love or fidelity. It is the foundations that underlies and gives reality to all other virtue and personal values.--Rollo May (The Courage to Create) 

Courage is not simply another virtue, it is the true form each and every virtue takes when put into practice.--Michael Rawls (from Friday's Inspiration: The Foundation of Integrity - 6/1/2001) 

Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgment that something else is more important than fear.--Ambrose Redmoon 

Courage is not the towering oak that sees storms come and go; it is the fragile blossom that opens in the snow.--Alice M. Swaim

Do the best you can in every task, no matter how unimportant it may seem at the time. No one learns more about a problem than the person at the bottom.--Sandra Day O'Conner
