“Courage is chief among virtues. For when any virtue is challenged, it is courage alone that can restore virtue.”
“Courage is the most important of all the virtues because without courage, you can't practice any other virtue consistently.”
“Courage is reckoned the greatest of all virtues; because, unless a man has that virtue, he has no security for preserving any other.”
“Courage is not a virtue or value among other personal values like love or fidelity. It is the foundations that underlies and gives reality to all other virtue and personal values. (p. 13)”
“Courage is not simply one of the virtues but the form of every virtue at the testing point, which means at the point of highest reality. ”
“Courage cannot be counterfeited. It is one virtue that escapes hypocrisy.”
