~ Courage without conscience is a wild beast. ~ ~ We are very much what others think of us. The reception our observations meet with gives us courage to proceed, or damps our efforts. ~ ~ Canadian nationalism was systematically encouraged and exploited by American capital. Canada moved from colony to nation to colony. ~ ~ Necessity does the work of courage. ~ ~ The principles of living greatly include the capacity to face trouble with courage, disappointment with cheerfulness, and trial with humility. ~ ~ The modern sympathy with invalids is morbid. Illness of any kind is hardly a thing to be encouraged in others. ~ ~ Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen. ~ ~ Courage is the power to let go of the familiar. ~ ~ We need to find the courage to say NO to the things and people that are not serving us if we want to rediscover ourselves and live our lives with authenticity. ~ ~ Courage consists not in blindly overlooking danger, but in seeing it, and conquering it. ~ ~ Discouragement is not the absence of adequacy but the absence of courage. ~ ~ Keep your fears to yourself, but share your courage with others. ~ ~ When you have no choice, mobilize the spirit of courage ~ ~ When you have no choice, mobilize the spirit of courage ~ ~ Do not lose courage in considering your own imperfections. ~ ~ Pretend inferiority and encourage his arrogance. ~ ~ You can surmount the obstacles in your path if you are determined, courageous and hard-working. Never be fainthearted. Be resolute, but never bitter.... Permit no one to dissuade you from pursuing the goals you set for yourselves. Do not fear to pioneer, to venture down new paths of endeavor. ~ ~ Some people think only intellect counts: knowing how to solve problems, knowing how to get by, knowing how to identify an advantage and seize it. But the functions of intellect are insufficient without courage, love, friendship, compassion and empathy. ~ ~ We live in a culture that discourages empathy. A culture that too often tells us our principle goal in life is to be rich, thin, young, famous, safe, and entertained. ~ ~ Courage and grace are a formidable mixture. The only place to see it is in the bullring. ~ ~ The test of courage comes when we are in the minority. The test of tolerance comes when we are in the majority. ~ ~ Cowardice and courage are never without a measure of affectation. Nor is love. Feelings are never true. They play with their mirrors ~ ~ A man of courage never needs weapons, but he may need bail ~ ~ You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot help small men by tearing down big men. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot lift the wage-earner by pulling down the wage-payer. You cannot help the poor man by destroying the rich. You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than your income. You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred. You cannot establish security on borrowed money. You cannot build character and courage by taking away men's initiative and independence. You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves. ~ ~ If an American is to amount to anything he must rely upon himself, and not upon the State; he must take pride in his own work, instead of sitting idle to envy the luck of others. He must face life with resolute courage, win victory if he can, and accept defeat if he must, without seeking to place on his fellow man a responsibility which is not theirs ~ ~ The preservationist is not an elitist who wants to exclude others, notwithstanding popular opinion to the contrary; he is a moralist who wants to convert them. He is concerned about what other people do in the parks not because he is unaware of the diversity of taste in the society, but because he views certain kinds of activity as calculated to undermine the attitudes he believes the park can, and should, encourage. ~ ~ Wine gives courage and makes men more apt for passion. ~ ~ Vegetarianism preserves live, health, peace, the ecology, creates a more equitable distribution of resources, helps to feed the hungry, encourages nonviolence for the animal and human members of the planet, and is a powerful aid for the spiritual transformation of the body, emotions, mind, and spirit ~ ~ Champagne, if you are seeking the truth, is better than a lie detector. It encourages a man to be expansive, even reckless, while lie detectors are only a challenge to tell lies successfully. ~ ~ Wine fills the heart with courage. ~ |
