“Courage, my child, is not the absence of fear. It's the triumph over fear.”
“I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.”
“Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear - not absence of fear.”
“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, but the decision that something is more important than fear.”
“Courage is not the absence of fear. It is rather not letting your fear control your actions”
