Courage Quotes
"And he said that wasn't brave of him, doing that, just standing there and being stung,' said Coraline to the cat. 'It wasn't brave because he wasn't scared: it was the only thing he could do.

That was brave.'"'Because,' she said, 'when you're scared but you still do it anyway, that's brave."

"And in me too the wave rises. It swells; it arches its back. I am aware once more of a new desire, something rising beneath me like the proud horse whose rider first spurs and then pulls him back. What enemy do we now perceive advancing against us, you whom I ride now, as we stand pawing this stretch of pavement? It is death. Death is the enemy. It is death against whom I ride with my spear couched and my hair flying back like a young man's, like Percival's, when he galloped in India. I strike spurs into my horse. Against you I will fling myself, unvanquished and unyielding, O Death!"

"We can't always be as brave as we want or need to be. We don't always make the harder choice, the one we know we need to make in order to change things for real. Sometimes we give in to our fear. We choose known over unknown, comfort over uncertainty. Even though that's often not ideal-to create our lives from fear-it's definitely human. And, it's okay. Our courage doesn't suddenly disappear just because we choose to ignore it. It may hide for a bit and make us work a little harder for its attention, but it's always there within us. We are born courageous, after all. Beautiful and brave. Whenever we get tired of playing at life with fear's rules, at last determined to change things for real, our courage will be there-ready, able, excited for us to let it do its thing."

You may have to do so kicking and screaming and throwing fits and crying- but by all means- face it!This life makes no room for cowards."

The danger of inducing cowardice in our patients, therefore, is lest we produce real self-knowledge and self-loathing, with consequent repentance and humility."
