“Without courage all other virtues lose their meaning.”
“Courage is the most important of all the virtues because without courage, you can't practice any other virtue consistently.”
“Courage is the mother of all virtues because without it, you cannot consistently perform the others.”
“Courage is the ladder on which all other virtues mount.”
“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.”
“Courage is reckoned the greatest of all virtues; because, unless a man has that virtue, he has no security for preserving any other.”
