Courage

"Often the difference between a successful man and a failure is not one's better abilities or ideas, but the courage that one has to bet on his ideas, to take a calculated risk and to act."

- Dr. Maxwell Maltz


"Courage is nine-tenths context. What is courageous in one setting can be foolhardy in another and even cowardly in a third."

- Joseph Epstein


"Never grow a wishbone, daughter, where your backbone ought to be."

- Clementine Paddelford


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

- Mark Twain
