“Courage is the most important of all the virtues, because without courage you can't practice any other virtue consistently. You can practice any virtue erratically, but nothing consistently without courage.”

“Courage is the most important of all the virtues because without courage, you can't practice any other virtue consistently.”

“Courage cannot be counterfeited. It is one virtue that escapes hypocrisy.”

“Today we need a special kind of courage. Not the kind needed in battle, but a kind which makes us stand up for everything that we know is right, everything that is true and honest. We need the kind of courage that can withstand the subtle corruption of the cynics, so that we can show the world that we are not afraid of the future.”

“The strangest, most generous, and proudest of all virtues is true courage.”

“Without fear there cannot be courage.”

“Where there is no joy there can be no courage; and without courage all other virtues are useless.”
