“Courage becomes a worthwhile and meaningful virtue when it is regarded not so much as a willingness to die manfully but as a determination to live decently.”
“A man with outward courage dares to die; a man with inner courage dares to live.”
“He thought of the virtues of courage and forbearance, which become flabby when there is nothing to use them on.”
“As regards moral courage, then, it is not so much that the public schools support it feebly, as that they suppress it firmly.”
“Often the test of courage becomes rather to live than to die.”
“At the last, this is what will determine a fulfilling, meaningful life, a life that, behind all the facades, every one of us longs to live: gratitude for the blessings that expresses itself by becoming the blessing.”
