“it takes someone brave to do what everyone else is afraid to do first.”

“I see someone who is afraid of giving up the only dream that will make them happy because he's too busy doing what everyone else wants him to do.”

“Being brave isn't not being afraid. Being brave is being afraid and going ahead and doing what you have to do.”

“But you're almost eighteen. You're old enough. Everyone else is doing it.And next year someone is going to say to someone else 'but you're only sixteen, everyone else is doing it' Or one day someone will tell your daughter that she's only thirteen and everyone else is doing it. I don't want to do it because everyone else is doing it.”

“Don't you see? You can't be brave without being afraid. The brave ones are always afraid. But they do what they must, even so.”

“Do not be afriad! I can see that Americans are not afraid. They are not afraid of the sun, they are not afraid of the wind, they are not afraid of 'today'. They are, generally speaking, brave, good people. And so I say to you today, always be brave. Do not be afraid. Do not be afraid. God is with you. Do not be afraid to search for God-then you will truly be the land of the free, the home of the brave. God Bless America.”
