Blakely on Courage

I am not fearless, because I’m scared of a lot of things. I’m courageous.
Sara Blakely

Carnegie on inaction

Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage. If you want to conquer fear, do not sit at home and think about it. Go out and get busy.
Dale Carnegie

A leader is someone who has the courage to say publicly what everybody else is whispering privately.

Andy Stanley

Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex and more violent. It takes a touch of genius—and a lot of courage—to move in the opposite direction.

E.F. Schumacher

To see what is right and not to do it, is want of courage.

Confucious

Keep your fears to yourself, but share your courage with others.

Robert Louis Stevenson

Hope awakens courage.
He who can implant courage in the human soul
Is the best physician.

Karl Ludwig Von Knebel

He is not worthy of the honeycomb
That shuns the hive because the bees have stings.

William Shakespeare

It is an error to suppose that courage means courage in everything – Most people are brave only in the dangers to which they accustom themselves, either in imagination or practice.

Edward George Bulwer-Lytton

Ye fearful saints fresh courage take,
The clouds ye so much dread
Are big with mercy, and shall break
In blessings on your head.

William Cowper
