“Sit with closed eyes in the early morning. Meditate on courage, the opposite of fear, for half an hour. Think of the advantages of courage and the disadvantages of fear.”

“Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear - not absence of fear.”

“It always demands a far greater degree of courage for an individual to oppose an organized movement than to let himself be carried along with the stream — individual courage, that is, a variety of courage that is dying out in these times of progressive organization and mechanization. During the war practically the only courage I ran across was mass courage, the courage that comes of being one of a herd, and anyone who examines this phenomenon more closely will find it to be compounded of some very strange elements: a great deal of vanity, a great deal of fear — yes, fear of staying behind, fear of being sneered at fear of independent action, and fear, above all, of taking up a stand against the mass enthusiasm of one's fellows.”

“Your fears are not walls, but hurdles. Courage is not the absence of fear, but the conquering of it.”

“Courage is not the absence of fear, but simply moving on with dignity despite that fear.”

“Fear is a reaction. Courage is a decision.”

“Courage is fear on its knees.”

“Without fear there cannot be courage.”

“Fear is the root of all courage”

“Nothing gives a fearful man more courage than another's fear.”
