“Fear is illusory; it cannot live. Courage is eternal, it will not die. Perils, calamities, dangers are the certain lot of every man who is a denizen of this world. Therefore, O Man! Fortify your mind with courage and patience. Fortitude, courage, presence of mind will sustain you through all dangers.”

“There is no living thing that is not afraid when it faces danger. The true courage is in facing danger when you are afraid, and that kind of courage you have in plenty.”

“I lived like a man who wanted to die but who had no courage to do it himself.”

“Courage is when we can overcome the fear and apprehension that pervades our hearts and minds when we find no other way out except by facing danger.”

“Determination in a single instance is an expression of courage; if it becomes characteristic, a mental habit. But here we are referring not to physical courage but to courage to accept responsibility, courage in the face of a moral danger. This has often been called courage d'esprit, because it is created by the intellect. That, however, does not make it an act of the intellect: it is an act of temperament. Intelligence alone is not courage; we often see that the most intelligent people are irresolute. Since in the rush of events a man is governed by feelings rather than by thought, the intellect needs to arouse the quality of courage, which then supports and sustains it in action.
Looked at in this way, the role of determination is to limit the agonies of doubt and the perils of hesitation when the motives for action are inadequate.”

“God know that a mother need fortitude and courage and tolerance and flexibility and patience and firmness and nearly every other brave aspect of the human soul.”

“Whether you be man or woman you will never do anything in this world without courage. It is the greatest quality of the mind next to honor.”

“Courage in danger is half the battle.”
Bonus animus in mala re, dimidium est mali.

“True courage is in facing danger when you are afraid…”

“The man of wisdom is never of two minds;
the man of benevolence never worries;
the man of courage is never afraid.”
