Courage is very important. Like a muscle, it is strengthened by use.--Ruth Gordon

Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak. Courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.--Winston Churchill

The courage of life is often a less dramatic spectacle than the courage of a final moment, but it is no less than a magnificent mixture of triumph and tragedy. People do what they must--in spite of personal consequences, in spite of obstacles and dangers and pressures--and that is the basis of all human morality.--John F. Kennedy
