“What is fear but courage's shadow?”
“Courage is a kind of salvation. Courage is knowing what not to fear.”
“Courage is knowing what not to fear.”
“Courage is a special kind of knowledge: the knowledge of how to fear what ought to be feared and how not to fear what ought not to be feared.”
“ That is what courage is: it is acting in the face of fear.”
“In my experience, God rarely makes our fear disappear. Instead, He asks us to be strong and take courage. What is courage? As Ordinary discovered, courage is not the absence of fear; rather, it's choosing to act in spite of the fear. You could say that without fear, you can't have genuine courage.”
