Courage to Overcome Fear


Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear, not absence of fear.
- Mark Twain

Courage is doing what you're afraid to do.
There can be no courage unless you're scared.
- Eddie Rickenbacker

A hero is no braver than an ordinary man,
but he is brave five minutes longer.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson

We must build dikes of courage
to hold back the flood of fear.
- Martin Luther King, Jr.

Whatever you do, you need courage.
Whatever course you decide upon,
there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong.
There are always difficulties arising that tempt you to believe your critics are right.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
