Some Thoughts on Courage and Fear

"Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear- not absence of fear."- Mark Twain

"It is curious- curious that physical courage should be so common in the world, and moral courage so rare."- Mark Twain

"I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand.  It's when you know you're licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what.  You rarely win, but you sometimes do."- Harper Lee, To Kill A Mockingbird

"Courage is never to let your actions be influenced by your fears."- Arthur Koestler
