“With enough courage, you can do without a reputation.”
“Reputation is an idle and most false imposition, oft got without merit and lost without deserving. You have lost no reputation at all unless you repute yourself such a loser.”
“Do you know what courage is? I guess you don't. Do you know that the courage it took at that moment - to actually blow yourself away - was more than enough courage to keep on living?”
“You can do all manner of underhanded nice things when you have a caustic reputation.”
“You're looking at a man without a heart. It belongs to you now. Keep it or throw it away--do what you will with it. I can never take it back."-The Edge Of Courage”
“That was courage, Keller thought. Not doing something without being afraid, but doing something even though you were afraid.”
