Mistakes are always forgivable, if one has the courage to admit them.

It is curious that physical courage should be so common in the world and moral courage so rare.

A coward is incapable of exhibiting love; it is the prerogative of the brave.

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.

If you see what is right and fail to act on it, you lack courage.

To be brave is to love someone unconditionally, without expecting anything in return. To just give. That takes courage, because we don't want to fall on our faces or leave ourselves open to hurt.

Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.

I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.

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

Do not go where the path may lead; go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.
