“Courage is not the lack of fear, it is acting in spite of it”

“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.”

“Courage is not the absence of fear; true courage is manifest in bravely doing what has to be done in spite of fears or foes or the foolishness of the crowd or the taunts of the group. True courage is doing the right thing in spite of the odds or opposition or apprehension.”

“I do not lack fear. Don't you understand? Courage is not found in lacking fear, courage is found in not allowing your fear to rule you. Think, young knight, would there bea ny courage required to face that which you do not fear?”

“It’s a release to know that in spite of everything a premeditated act of courage is still possible.”

“There's a difference between not being afraid and acting in spite of fear.”
