"When something is important enough, you do it even if the odds are not in your favor."

"You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, 'I lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along."

"The path from dreams to success does exist. May you have the vision to find it, the courage to get on to it, and the perseverance to follow it."

"We don't develop courage by being happy every day. We develop it by surviving difficult times and challenging adversity."

"He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life."

"Courage is contagious. When a brave man takes a stand, the spines of others are often stiffened."

"One isn't necessarily born with courage, but one is born with potential. Without courage, we cannot practice any other virtue with consistency. We can't be kind, true, merciful, generous, or honest."

"Courage is grace under pressure."

"All you need is the plan, the road map, and the courage to press on to your destination."

"Genius is talent set on fire by courage."
