Courage

Often I have found that the one thing that can save is the thing which appears most to threaten ... One has to go down into what one most fears and in that process ... Comes a saving flicker of light and energy that even if it does not produce the courage of a hero at any rate enables a trembling mortal to take one step further.

Don't Fear the fear. Embrace It.

Just be yourself, when no one believe you!

I'd rather make a good run than a bad stand.

The bravest souls I know are those who are willing to risk having the entire world turns its back on them, and all they’ve ever wanted to do – and they would lay down their lives to do it,because there is no other way to defeat truth– is simply, to tell the worldwith their whole heart their story.

Standing still is never an option so long as inequities remain embedded in the very fabric of the culture.

You do not need to know precisely what is happening, or exactly where it is all going. What you need is to recognize the possibilities and challenges offered by the present moment, and to embrace them with courage, faith and hope.

The further you are challenged and threatened, the more your warrior heart will emerge.

For the first time in my life I was admitting defeat.

I actually hated dancing. My mum used to have to bribe me to go by buying me things. A year before I stopped going, I was going to go for an audition with the Royal Ballet. It turned out I was a year too young. Because I was tall, they thought I was older. But before I had the chance to go back, I quit.

How many women have the courage to start properly with a cold, cold bath early in the morning? I jump in, throw the water, cold as ice, and after the first plunge I am happy.

Voicing out against injustice in the society is championing a just cause.

Can I ask you something?' you said. 'How did you ever survive that scandal?'She said, 'I refused to be shamed.'How did you do that?' you asked. 'When they came at me, I kept coming,' she said.

I was court-martialled in my absence, and sentenced to death in my absence, so I said they could shoot me in my absence.

You can’t know what is impossible until you are willing to venture past what is possible.

Don't back down just to keep the peace. Standing up for yourself builds self confidence and self esteem.

Strong men greet war tempest hard times. They wish as Pindar said to tread the floors of hell with necessities as hard as iron.

Long live the pioneersRebels and mutineersGo forth and have no fearCome close the end is near.

It takes heart to battle great challenges, great faith to be victorious over them.

Have the courage to live... Anyone can die.
