Courage Quotes (page 41)

We're so busy resigning ourselves to the inevitable that we don't even ask if it is inevitable. We've got to have courage, to take our future into our hands. If the law is oppressive, we must change the law. If tradition is obstructive, we must break tradition. If the system is unjust, we must reform the system. Winifred Holtby
Art has two great functions. First, it provides an emotional experience. And then, if we have the courage of our own feelings, it becomes a mine of practical truth. We have had the feelings ad nauseam. But we've never dared dig the actual truth out of them, the truth that concerns us, whether it concerns our grandchildren or not. David Herbert Lawrence
Buffalo Hump knew his son was brave, but that was not enough. If a warrior lacked wisdom, courage alone would not keep him alive for long. Larry McMurtry
We should impart our courage, and not our despair, our health and ease, and not our disease, and take care that this does not spread by contagion ... Henry David Thoreau
Aristotle quote: "A courageous person is one who faces fearful things as he..."

The greatest test of courage is to bear defeat without losing heart. Robert Green Ingersoll
The coldest most rational scientific madness is also the most intolerable. But when a man has acquired a certain ability to subsist, even rather scantily, in a certain niche with the help of a few grimaces, he must either keep at it or resign himself to dying the death of a guinea pig. Habits are acquired more quickly than courage, especially the habit of filling one's stomach. Louis-Ferdinand Celine
You face the biggest challenge of all: to have the courage to seek your big dream regardless of what anyone says. You are the only person alive who can see your big picture and even you can't see it all. Oprah Winfrey
John Milton quote: "All is not lost, the unconquerable will, and study of revenge,..."
All is not lost, the unconquerable will, and study of revenge, immortal hate, and the courage never to submit or yield. John Milton
I want to grow old without facelifts... I want to have the courage to be loyal to the face I've made. Sometimes I think it would be easier to avoid old age, to die young, but then you'd never complete your life, would you? You'd never wholly know you. Marilyn Monroe
If we only arrange our life in accordance with the principle which tells us that we must always trust in the difficult, then what now appears to us as the most alien will become our most intimate and trusted experience. How could we forget those ancient myths that stand at the beginning of all races, the myths about dragons that at the last moment are transformed into princesses? Perhaps all the dragons in our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us act, just once, with beauty and... Rainer Maria Rilke
Thucydides quote: "Self-control is the chief element in self-respect, and..."
Self-control is the chief element in self-respect, and self-respect is the chief element in courage. Thucydides
Do you think that Hemingway knew he was a writer at twenty years old? No, he did not. Or Fitzgerald, or Wolfe. This is a difficult concept to grasp. Hemingway didn't know he was Ernest Hemingway when he was a young man. Faulkner didn't know he was William Faulkner. But they had to take the first step. They had to call themselves writers. That is the first revolutionary act a writer has to make. It takes courage. But it's necessary Pat Conroy
Anne Frank quote: "I can shake off everything as I write; my sorrows disappear,..."
I can shake off everything as I write; my sorrows disappear, my courage is reborn. Anne Frank
