“Has joy any survival value in the operations of evolution? I suspect that it does; I suspect that the morose and fearful are doomed to quick extinction. Where there is no joy there can be no courage; and without courage all other virtues are useless.”
“What about the virtue of letting others be themselves? Is this not the greatest virtue of all?”
“Courage is chief among virtues. For when any virtue is challenged, it is courage alone that can restore virtue.”
“Courage is the mother of all virtues because without it, you cannot consistently perform the others.”
