Efforts and courage are not enough without purpose and direction

Eleanor Roosevelt: You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing which you think you cannot do.

I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.

There are no easy answers, but there are simple answers. We must have the courage to do what we know is morally right.
