“It takes courage to die for a cause, but also to live for one.”

“You can always die. It's living that takes real courage." - Himura Kenshin”

“Courage is almost a contradiction in terms. It means a strong desire to live taking the form of a readiness to die.”

“It takes great courage when you are suffering to see beyond your suffering to the clear relations between things, to the laws that cause and govern your suffering; it takes great courage to be ruthless with one's griefs.”

“Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; Courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.”

“Sacred dying rituals are primarily and notably for the person dying. It takes great strength and courage to face death and to begin to move through it to the other side. And it takes great courage for the survivors to put aside their own fears and anxieties to help their loved ones die a peaceful death.”
