On Courage

"The systematic, deliberate development of courage is essential to the achievement of success.  Fear is the greatest single obstacle to achievement." -– Brian Tracy  

"To dream anything that you want to dream.  That is the beauty of the human mind.  To do anything that you want to do.  That is the strength of the human will.  To trust yourself to test your limits.  That is the courage to succeed." -– Bernard Edmonds  

"Courage is not the towering oak that sees storms come and go; it is the fragile blossom that opens in the snow." -- Alice Mackenzie Swaim

"The brave man is not he who feels no fear, 
For that were stupid and irrational;
But he whose noble soul its fears subdues,
And bravely dares the danger nature shrinks from."
