Courage
All great things begin with a single uncertain step. True character does not develop in a world without challenge or change. You must step forward bravely in order to grow. Challenge your character. Turn into the wind.
Here is what the movies say about the importance of personal courage.
“It takes backbone to lead the life you want, Frank.”
“The thing about courage is it’s something that we have to learn and relearn our whole lives. It’s not just in you, it’s in every choice we make every day.”
“Now is the time that we must choose between what is right and what is easy.”
“Never let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game.”
“It takes a great deal of courage to stand up to your enemies, but a great deal more to stand up to your friends.”
“Courage is not the absence of fear but rather the judgment that something is more important than fear. The brave may not live forever but the cautious do not live at all.”
“It's not brave if you're not scared.”
“When are you going to understand that being normal is not necessarily a virtue? It rather denotes a lack of courage!”
“Men don't follow titles, they follow courage.”
“You're a witness. You're always standing around watching what's happening, scribbling in your book what other people do. You have to get in the middle of it. You have to take sides. Make a contribution to the fight, any fight - the one you believe in.”
