Courage is a heart word. The root of the word courage is cor - the Latin word for heart. In one of its earliest forms, the word courage meant "To speak one's mind by telling all one's heart." Over time, this definition has changed, and today, we typically associate courage with heroic and brave deeds. But in my opinion, this definition fails to recognize the inner strength and level of commitment required for us to actually speak honestly and openly about who we are and about our experiences
good and bad. Speaking from our hearts is what I think of as "ordinary courage. ~ Brene Brown
Ordinary Courage quotes by Brene Brown
Heroics is often about putting our life on the line. Ordinary courage is about putting our vulnerability on the line. In today's world, that's pretty extraordinary. ~ Brene Brown
Ordinary Courage quotes by Brene Brown
People are gregarious by necessity. Since the days of the first cave dwellers, humans
hairless, weak, and helpless save for cunning
have survived by joining together in groups; knowing, as so many other edible creatures have found, that there is protection in numbers. And that knowledge, bred in the bone, is what lies behind mob rule. Because to step outside the group, let alone to stand against it was for uncounted thousands of years death to the creature who dared it. To stand against a crowd would take something more than ordinary courage; something that went beyond human instinct. And I feared I did not have it, and fearing, was ashamed. ~ Diana Gabaldon
Ordinary Courage quotes by Diana Gabaldon
To stand against a crowd would take something more than ordinary courage; something that went beyond human instinct. ~ Diana Gabaldon
Ordinary Courage quotes by Diana Gabaldon
There is not much you can say about a baby unless you are talking with its father or another mother or nurse; infants are not part of the realm of ordinary language, talk is inadequate to them as they are inadequate to talk. ~ Ursula K. Le Guin
Ordinary Courage quotes by Ursula K. Le Guin
Love sweetens pain; and when one loves God, one suffers for His sake with joy and courage. ~ Brother Lawrence
Ordinary Courage quotes by Brother Lawrence
I would say I am an ordinary bowler but one with a really big heart, and that's what has stood me in good stead in all these years. ~ Harbhajan Singh
Ordinary Courage quotes by Harbhajan Singh
It takes great courage to be vulnerable. It takes enormous strength to be a real woman. ~ John Eldredge
Ordinary Courage quotes by John Eldredge
The great virtue in life is real courage that knows how to face facts and live beyond them. ~ D.H. Lawrence
Ordinary Courage quotes by D.H. Lawrence
I look around and see that many - not all, but many - problems we've got could be solved if our culture simply fostered the habit of reading. Reading books of science, philosophy, history. Reading literature of quality, the sort that touches us because of a more profound reason, such as, for instance, because it's got something to say beyond all the futilities and trifles of life, even while depicting the ordinary in life, at the same time that it says it with style, in a unique, admirable manner. An original one.


We are not a county of readers, notwithstanding. We are the country of football turned into a cult, of guile being ranked high as a cardinal virtue, of Carnival made for exportation. A country where there are more letters in political party acronyms than in all many of our politicians have written in a lifetime. A country where ethics has become a joke theme. Where democracy is but a ridiculous puppet theatre.

Yes, I look around and see that many problems could be solved if we had the habit of reading. But I am not even sure whether there is someone reading these words. ~ Camilo Gomes Jr.
Ordinary Courage quotes by Camilo Gomes Jr.
To govern more securely some Princes have disarmed their subjects ... but by disarming, you at once give offence, since you show your subjects that you distrust them, either by doubting their courage, or as doubting their fidelity, each of which imputations begets hatred against you. ~ Niccolo Machiavelli
Ordinary Courage quotes by Niccolo Machiavelli
Safe Spaces
The courage needed to come forward in today's society is far beyond what should be. We all need to create safe, private and protected spaces for each other to open into, absolute honesty without fear, to feel love and respect and unconditional support. To be able to create a safe space for others is a blessing and a joy. ~ William Donelson
Ordinary Courage quotes by William Donelson
And when neither their property nor honour is touched, the majority of men live content, and he has only to contend with the ambition of a few, whom he can curb with ease in many ways. It makes him contemptible to be considered fickle, frivolous, effeminate, mean-spirited, irresolute, from all of which a prince should guard himself as from a rock; and he should endeavour to show in his actions greatness, courage, gravity, and fortitude; and in his private dealings with his subjects let him show that his judgments are irrevocable, and maintain himself in such reputation that no one can hope either to deceive him or to get round him. That prince is highly esteemed who conveys this impression of himself, and he who is highly esteemed is not easily conspired against; for, provided it is well known that he is an excellent man and revered by his people, he can only be attacked with difficulty. ~ Niccolo Machiavelli
Ordinary Courage quotes by Niccolo Machiavelli
I think if you are a musician, and artist, you have to have a certain courage. Repeating yourself or photocopying other's art... it's cowardice. If you actually risk your career to do something new, even if it's in a very small way, then it's art. ~ Thomas Gabriel Fischer
Ordinary Courage quotes by Thomas Gabriel Fischer
Believing in the sovereignty of God injects courage in the act of desire. ~ Jen Pollock Michel
Ordinary Courage quotes by Jen Pollock Michel
The opposite of courage is not cowardice, it is conformity. ~ Jim Hightower
Ordinary Courage quotes by Jim Hightower
We all have a sphere of influence. Each of us needs to find our own sources of courage so that we can begin to speak. There are many problems to address, and we cannot avoid them indefinitely. We cannot continue to be silent. We must begin to speak, knowing that words alone are insufficient. But I have seen that meaningful dialogue can lead to effective action. Change is possible. ~ Beverly Daniel Tatum
Ordinary Courage quotes by Beverly Daniel Tatum
Your life may seem mundane and ordinary to you, but there are many people out there who would love to have a less complicated life. ~ Lindy Tsang
Ordinary Courage quotes by Lindy Tsang
No one ever developed their character by arranging their experiences in such a way that only 'good' things are allowed to happen to them. Character is not purchased with a dance in the street. It is not cheap, and it's hard to come by, owing partly to the fact that it is the heir of disappointment, frustration, betrayal and deceit. However, it is not the inheritance that matters so much as what you do with it. In the face of seemingly insurmountable problems what do you do, and why do you do it? The same holds for dramatic characters whose strength, courage, insight and wisdom have to be earned. ~ Billy Marshall Stoneking
Ordinary Courage quotes by Billy Marshall Stoneking
Remind yourself regularly that you are better than you think you are. Successful people are not superhuman. Success does not require a super-intellect. Nor is there anything mystical about success. And success isn't based on luck. Successful people are just ordinary folks who have developed belief in themselves and what they do. Never ... yes, never ... sell yourself short. ~ David J. Schwartz
Ordinary Courage quotes by David J. Schwartz
But courage was not lacking in her heart, though it might be foolhardy and unwise. ~ Guy Gavriel Kay
Ordinary Courage quotes by Guy Gavriel Kay
Those who are nothing particular are noble people. Don't strive - just be ordinary. ~ Linji Yixuan
Ordinary Courage quotes by Linji Yixuan
I would rather face my fears than lose, but most people would rather lose than face their fears. ~ Orrin Woodward
Ordinary Courage quotes by Orrin Woodward
I think main storylines are what always intrigued me, with those that were the relationships between the characters against whatever backdrop, whether it was in an ordinary universe or a universe in the future. ~ John Noble
Ordinary Courage quotes by John Noble
Be bold as a lion. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Ordinary Courage quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
All the students have shown more advance in two months of summer study than they have in a year of ordinary instruction, largely due to their free and wholesome life in the open air. ~ Howard Pyle
Ordinary Courage quotes by Howard Pyle
She realized with deep respect that this woman had always done what she had to do and faced what she had to face. If many of her fears and burdens would have seemed unreal to another woman, there was nothing unreal about her courage. ~ Elizabeth Goudge
Ordinary Courage quotes by Elizabeth Goudge
Courage is contagious: When one person of courage stands up, others are affected and stand up with him ~ Nora Raleigh Baskin
Ordinary Courage quotes by Nora Raleigh Baskin
Don't wait until you die to learn the warrior's way. Do it now, each night, just before you drift off to sleep. As you review your day, consider these two questions of courage and love. Learn from each day, so that each day you can show a little more courage and a little more love. Then, as incidents occur, you may rise to the occasion and look back at the end of your life and feel good about the way you lived. ~ Dan Millman
Ordinary Courage quotes by Dan Millman
If a girl admits that she likes you, know that it took her every ounce of courage she has, don't take it for granted. ~ Green Monk
Ordinary Courage quotes by Green Monk
(Running out of Night) ...is a story that respects this pivotal era of American history, a story that reveals the pain, the courage, and the hope that eventually changed the world.–Middle Shelf : Cool Reads for Kids magazine ~ Sharon Lovejoy
Ordinary Courage quotes by Sharon Lovejoy
When all normal rules are suspended, and ordinary things that used to be important suddenly become meaningless. ~ L.J.Smith
Ordinary Courage quotes by L.J.Smith
The criteria for serving one's country should be competence, courage and willingness to serve. When we deny people the chance to serve because of their sexual orientation, we deprive them of their rights of citizenship, and we deprive our armed forces the service of willing and capable Americans. ~ Dianne Feinstein
Ordinary Courage quotes by Dianne Feinstein
She walks,
on the streets,
with a face that,
doesn't belong.
It smiles more than,
many put together,
whole day long.
Her heart misfit,
a little chipped.
And she likes to,
call it once broken,
but now stitched. ~ Jasleen Kaur Gumber
