Cowards die many times before their deaths; the valiant never taste of death but once.

I've been absolutely terrified every moment of my life—and I've never let it keep me from doing a single thing I wanted to do.

Moral courage is the most valuable and usually the most absent characteristics in men.

Whenever you see a successful business, someone once made a courageous decision.

The chief danger in life is that you may take too many precautions.

Most obstacles melt away when we make up our minds to walk boldly through them.

There is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct, or more uncertain in its success, than to take the lead in the induction of a new order of things.

No man will ever bring out the Presidency the reputation which carries him into it.

Here must all distrust be left behind; all cowardice must be ended.

You don’t develop courage by being happy in your relationships everyday. You develop it by surviving difficult times and challenging adversity.

The better you are at communicating negotiating, and handling your fear of rejection, the easier life is.

Far better it is to dare might things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they in the gray twilight that knows nor victory nor defeat.

Revenge and retaliation always perpetuate the cycle of anger, fear and violence.

Our repentance is not so much regret for the ill we have done as fear of the ill that may happen to us in consequence.

If you know the enemy and know yourself you need not fear the results of a hundred battles.

In the ordinary business of life, industry can do anything which genius can do, and very many things which it cannot.

Success in life is founded upon attention to the small things rather than to the large things; to the every day things nearest to us rather than to the things that are remote and uncommon.

If you must look back, do so forgivingly. If you must look forward, do so prayerfully. However, the wisest thing you can do is be present in the present...gratefully.

Pain is certain, suffering is optional.

The less you respond to negative people, the positive your life will become.

Nobody is more inferior than those who insists on being equal.

Those who love deeply never grow old; they may die of old age, but they die young.

You who suffer because you love, love still more. To die of love, is to live by it.

It's the truth I'm after, and the truth never harmed anyone. What harms us is to persist in self-deceit and ignorance.
