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

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

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

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

Can any man be courageous who has the fear of death in him?

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

Courage is rightly esteemed the first of human qualities, because it is the quality which guarantees all others.

Arrogance is a killer, and wearing ambition on one's sleeve can have the same effect. There is a fine line between arrogance and self-confidence. Legitimate self-confidence is a winner. The true test of self-confidence is the courage to be open—to welcome change and new ideas regardless of their source. Self-confidant people aren't afraid to have their views challenged. They relish the intellectual combat that enriches ideas.

Just as courage imperils life, fear protects it.

Failure is unimportant. It takes courage to make a fool of oneself.
