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

... that's a valiant flea that dare eat his breakfast on the lip of a lion.

Keep your fears to yourself, but share your courage with others.

Courage is being scared to death and saddling up anyway.

Never stop. One always stops as soon as something is about to happen.

Valour lies just half way between rashness and cowheartedness.

As to moral courage, I have very rarely met with the two o'clock in the morning kind. I mean unprepared courage, that which is necessary on an unexpected occasion, and which, in spite of the most unforeseen events, leaves full freedom of judgement and decision.

A great part of courage is the courage of having done it before.

There is nothing in the world so much admired as a man who knows how to bear unhappiness with courage.

That is at bottom the only courage demanded of us: to have courage for the most strange, the most singular and the most inexplicable that we may encounter.
