Our city is open to the world, and we have no periodical deportations in order to prevent people observing or finding out secret which might be of military advantage to the enemy. This is because we rely, not on secret weapons, but on our own real courage and loyalty. -146 ~ Thucydides
Real Courage quotes by Thucydides
Personality Self/ Ego Spiritual Self /Higher Soul/God Not recognizing the divinity in yourself or others Recognizing divinity in self and all living things Seeing yourself as separate from everything Knowing you are connected to everything Focuses on differences Recognizes similarities Intellect (Mind) Intuition (Heart) Hostility Compassion Re-Action Responding with awareness Past or Future Fully in the present moment Fear (false evidence appearing real) Courage Judgment Acceptance Right/Wrong Everything is an experience to learn from, both negative and positive. Better/Worse Everything has value. ~ Sabrina Reber
Real Courage quotes by Sabrina Reber
I many times encountered courage, real courage. Undeniable courage. I've heard it said that that was the highest quality of the human animal. I encountered that many times, in unexpected places. And I have learned to recognize it when I see it. ~ Dorothea Lange
Real Courage quotes by Dorothea Lange
Real courage embraces the twin realities of current difficulty and ultimate triumph. ~ Max Lucado
Real Courage quotes by Max Lucado
He, who fails to acknowledge and appreciate the real courage of our fathers, fails to appreciate the real lessons that the courage of our fathers teaches us today! The courage and the wisdom that propelled our fathers to move unrelentingly in their days must be nothing to us, but, a real reason for us to be more than courageous enough to do the undone distinctively in our days. ~ Ernest Agyemang Yeboah
Real Courage quotes by Ernest Agyemang Yeboah
wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It's when you know you're licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what. - ATTICUS FINCH, FROM HARPER LEE'S TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD ~ Kristin Hannah
Real Courage quotes by Kristin Hannah
You wouldn't be the first trainee to fail, you know. You won't be the last, either. It takes real courage to submit." Ashley's ~ Claire Thompson
Real Courage quotes by Claire Thompson
Do you know what courage is? Not a willingness to fling oneself into danger without proper thought – that is nothing, nothing. There is cowardice in all impulse. Real courage lies in thinking things through, seeing all the risks, and taking them anyway. Lady Tamarind has courage. ~ Frances Hardinge
Real Courage quotes by Frances Hardinge
Still, I couldn't get over Dad calling those farmers. People might think helping is hard, but really that's the easy part; just look how good it makes people feel. Look how happy all those Red Bend ladies were about chipping in. It's the asking that's so painful. It takes real courage, real strength, to say you're not strong enough to do it alone. Mom must really be hurting for Dad to be so brave. ~ Catherine Gilbert Murdock
Real Courage quotes by Catherine Gilbert Murdock
A lady?' Jem raised his head. His face was scarlet. 'After all those things she said about you, a lady?'
'She was. She had her own views about things, a lot different from mine, maybe ... son, I told you that if you hadn't lost your head I'd have made you go read to her. I wanted you to see something about her- I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It's when you know you're licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what. You rarely win, but sometimes you do. Mrs. Dubose won, all ninety-eight pounds of her. According to her views, she died beholden to nothing and nobody. She was the bravest person I ever knew. ~ Harper Lee
Real Courage quotes by Harper Lee
It's a difficult question and not one you can answer until you're faced with it. Keep in mind that many people have died for their beliefs; it's actually quite common. The real courage is in living and suffering for what you believe. -Brom ~ Christopher Paolini
Real Courage quotes by Christopher Paolini
You know what makes a person a fighter? It's not the amount of punches he can throw, or how long he can last in a ring. It's when he shows real courage and strength to overcome his battle wounds and scars. You have scars, killer. Own up to them. ~ Claudia Tan
Real Courage quotes by Claudia Tan
[ ... ] it doesn't take much courage to fight when you still believe you can win. What takes real courage is to keep fighting when all hope is gone. ~ Matthew Polly
Real Courage quotes by Matthew Polly
Loving someone is not tough but the real courage is to be with that person forever. ~ Anuj Tiwari
Real Courage quotes by Anuj Tiwari
Sometimes I wonder about depression, is it the fear of life or the fear of death?"

"Depression is the fear of senses and thoughts, only the prolonged passion can beat it, be it.. passion for life, life after death, or anything else which is something.. in particular!"

"But depression is not a fear, it gives you courage to end your life or to live hopelessly."

"Ending one's life is the easiest way to end a battle. Going with the flow is not an achievement, though. But leading a life with all of its fortunes, aspirations, ambitions, defeats, losses, and misfortunes is the real courage.. Only because you are eligible to live, you are granted the grace of life… You have it, you can manage it; that's the secret people refuse to believe. ~ Noha Alaa El-Din
Real Courage quotes by Noha Alaa El-Din
If only I could spend all days surrounded by people brave enough to open their hearts for real. ~ Scott Stabile
Real Courage quotes by Scott Stabile
If you set as your goal to roll back the size of government, you have an obligation to answer the tough questions and show real courage, not just appeal to ideology. Treat the voters like adults. ~ Brian Baird
Real Courage quotes by Brian Baird
It was hard to speak, what with my heart trying to climb out of my mouth. For every gay man this question comes at some point, in just such a tone, if not in those actual words. I don't know if real courage lies in storming barricades or in simply not denying the truth. I know it took every ounce of strength I had to say, I'm gay, if that's what you're asking. ~ Josh Lanyon
Real Courage quotes by Josh Lanyon
Real courage is being afraid but doing it anyway. ~ Oprah Winfrey
Real Courage quotes by Oprah Winfrey
Anybody Can Hate. Hate is Easy ... Living Side by Side with Compassion, Tolerance and Respect Takes Real Courage. ~ Jeffrey A. White
Real Courage quotes by Jeffrey A. White
It's easy to pretend 'to be fierce and fearless because living your truth takes real courage. Real fearless and fierce women admit mistakes and they work to correct them. We stand up and we use our voices for things other than self promotion. We don't stand by and let racism and sexism and homophobia run rapid on our watch. Real fearless and fierce women complement other women and we recognize and embrace that their shine in no way diminishes our light and that it actually makes our light shine brighter. ~ Gabrielle Union
Real Courage quotes by Gabrielle Union
Real courage is not to give up hope, even in the most terrible darkness, and to carry on. That if courage and love is deep as despair, deeper, then light may come again ~ David Clement-Davies
Real Courage quotes by David Clement-Davies
To die for a cause is easy, to live, to be steady day after day doing the small things, taking care of the details, knowing you will be forgotten by history and still choosing to do so, that is real courage ~ Anonymous
Real Courage quotes by Anonymous
I know what real courage is, and I understand true compassion. ~ Mo Yan
Real Courage quotes by Mo Yan
Real courage comes from outfacing the danger. ~ Veronica Heley
Real Courage quotes by Veronica Heley
You cannot confuse bravery or courage with lack of fear. Real courage, true bravery is doing things in spite of fear, knowing fear. ~ Maia Wojciechowska
Real Courage quotes by Maia Wojciechowska
I remember my father, who had served in Vietnam, once talking to me about how real courage is when you're scared out of your mind but you do what you have to do anyway. I didn't feel very courageous at the moment. I felt like a small mouse in the mouth of a lion. ~ Anna M. Aquino
Real Courage quotes by Anna M. Aquino
It takes real courage to do battle in the unspectacular task. We always listen for the applause of our co-workers. He is courageous who plods on, unlettered and unknown ... In the last analysis it is this courage, developing between man and his limitations, that brings success. ~ Alice Foote MacDougall
Real Courage quotes by Alice Foote MacDougall
The great virtue in life is real courage that knows how to face facts and live beyond them. ~ D.H. Lawrence
Real Courage quotes by D.H. Lawrence

Real Courage quotes by Christopher Paolini
I wanted you see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. ~ Harper Lee
Real Courage quotes by Harper Lee
Real courage is knowing what faces you and knowing how to face it. ~ Timothy Dalton
Real Courage quotes by Timothy Dalton
Real courage is when you know you're licked before you begin, but you begin anyway and see it through no matter what. ~ Harper Lee
Real Courage quotes by Harper Lee
She was. She had her own views about things, a lot different from mine, maybe . . . son, I told you that if you hadn't lost your head I'd have made you go read to her. I wanted you to see something about her - I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand.

Real Courage quotes by Harper Lee
Gentlemen- by which I mean, of course, latter adolescents who aspire to manhood gentlemen, here is a truth: Enduring tedium over real time in a confined space is what real courage is. Such endurance is, as it happens, the distillate of what is, today, in this world neither you nor I have made, heroism. Heroism ~ David Foster Wallace
Real Courage quotes by David Foster Wallace
The real reform Japan needs is decisive politics when we face issues that need to be decided. ~ Yoshihiko Noda
Real Courage quotes by Yoshihiko Noda
Silence fell between them, until the Young Dread finally dared ask, "Were you a great mind, master?"
A real smile crossed his face. "You don't ask if I am a great mind, child? Because I speak gibberish now? Let me tell you – I once thought I was a great mind."
"And now?"
"Now it does not matter. Great minds are not what's wanted. Only good hearts. Good hearts choose wisely.
"How does one find a good heart?"
"It is luck child. Always luck. With you, I have been very lucky. ~ Arwen Elys Dayton
Real Courage quotes by Arwen Elys Dayton
The audience was ecstatic, leaving the big top with smiles that wouldn't fade for hours. They had seen what they thought were tricks, not realizing everything about this circus was real. ~ Sarah Noffke
Real Courage quotes by Sarah Noffke
The real names of our people were destroyed during slavery. The last name of my forefathers was taken from them when they were brought to America and made slaves, and then the name of the slave master was given, which we refuse, we reject that name today and refuse it. I never acknowledge it whatsoever. ~ Malcolm X
Real Courage quotes by Malcolm X
Real life doesn't always need to be posted online. ~ Janet Gurtler
Real Courage quotes by Janet Gurtler
Whereas the unconscious colossus of real existence, subjectless capitalism, inflicts its destruction blindly, the deludedly rebellious subject is willing to see that destruction as its fulfillment, and, together with the biting cold it emits toward human beings misused as things, it also radiates the perverted love which, in the world of things, takes the place of love in its immediacy. ~ Theodor W. Adorno
Real Courage quotes by Theodor W. Adorno
The essential difference between a society based on slave-labour and one based on wage-labour lies, Marx says, only in the manner in which this surplus-labour is extracted from the real producer, the worker. ~ Anonymous
Real Courage quotes by Anonymous
In short, the man displayed a constant and insurmountable impulse to wrap himself in a covering, to make himself, so to speak, a case which would isolate him and protect him from external influences. Reality irritated him, frightened him, kept him in continual agitation, and, perhaps to justify his timidity, his aversion for the actual, he always praised the past and what had never existed; and even the classical languages which he taught were in reality for him goloshes and umbrellas in which he sheltered himself from real life. ~ Anton Chekhov
Real Courage quotes by Anton Chekhov
He had been violently confused by her real presence in the opposite inaccessible corner. For months he had been possessed by the imagination of her. She had been distant and closed away, a princess in a tower, and his imagination's work had been all to make her present, all of her, to his mind and senses, the quickness of her and the mystery, the whiteness of her, which was part of her extreme magnetism, and the green look of those piercing or occluded eyes. Her presence had been unimaginable, or more strictly, only to be imagined. Yet here she was, and he was engaged in observing the ways in which she resembled, or differed from, the woman he dreamed, or reached for in sleep, or would fight for. ~ A.S. Byatt
Real Courage quotes by A.S. Byatt
I'm in a weird-ass mood today, Doc. Wired up, mind all over the place, looking for answers, reasons something solid to cling to, something real, but just when I think I've got it figured out and neatly filed under fixed instead of fucked, turns out I'm still shattered, scattered, and battered. But you probably already knew that, didn't you? ... You might not be able to help me. That makes me sad, but not for me. It makes me sad for you. It must be frustrating for a shrink to have a patient who's beyond fixing. That first shrink I saw when I got back to Clayton Falls told me no one is a lost cause, but I think that's bullshit. I think people can be so crushed, so broken, that they'll never be anything more than a fragment of a whole person. (129) ~ Chevy Stevens
Real Courage quotes by Chevy Stevens
A lack of real love for ourselves is one of the most constricting, painful conditions we can know. ~ Sharon Salzberg
Real Courage quotes by Sharon Salzberg
But I don't want comfort. I want God, I want poetry, I want real danger, I want freedom, I want goodness. I want sin. ~ Aldous Huxley
Real Courage quotes by Aldous Huxley
A feller's glad to be a friend, Out fishin'. A helpin' hand he'll always lend, Out fishin' The brotherhood of rod and line An' sky an' stream is always fine; Men come real close to God's design, Out fishin'. A feller isn't plotting schemes, Out fishin'. He's only busy with his dreams, Out fishin' His livery is a coat of tan; His creed, to do the best he can; A feller's always mostly man Out fishin'. ~ Edgar Guest
Real Courage quotes by Edgar Guest
We are Americans first, Americans last, Americans always, ... Let us argue our differences. But remember we are not enemies, but comrades in a war against a real enemy. ~ John McCain
Real Courage quotes by John McCain
Humility is one of the nets spread by real greatness ~ Imam Ali (Derived From Du'a Kumayl)
Real Courage quotes by Imam Ali (Derived From Du'a Kumayl)
The real gnostic does not attribute any "state" to himself, for he is without ambition and without ostentation; he has a tendency rather
through an "instinct for holding back"
to disguise his nature inasmuch as he has, in any case, awareness of "cosmic play" (lila) and it is hard for him to take secular and worldly persons seriously, that is to say, "horizontal" beings who are full of self-confidence and who remain, "humanists" that they are, below the vocation of man ~ Frithjof Schuon
Real Courage quotes by Frithjof Schuon
Real Dominance isn't always measured in muscle. Nor is it always measured in Intelligence. But rather it is measured... In heart. ~ Lucian Bane
Real Courage quotes by Lucian Bane
There is an art to grieving. To grieve well the loss of anyone or anything
a parent, a love, a child, an era, a home, a job
is a creative act. It takes attention and patience and courage. But many of us do not know how to grieve. We were never taught, and we don't see examples of full-bodied grieving around us. Our culture favors the fast-food model of mourning
get over it quick and get back to work; affix the bandage of "closure" and move on. ~ Elizabeth Lesser
Real Courage quotes by Elizabeth Lesser
The concept, the label, is perpetually hiding from us all the nature of the real. ~ Joyce Cary
Real Courage quotes by Joyce Cary
No one else. It was me who had to carry myself over the finish line, and all I needed to remember when I felt like not trying was that that feeling wouldn't last forever.
Forever.
I used to believe it didn't exist. One word has terrified me as a child and it haunted me. But now I knew, and many small ways, but it was real, But it didn't scare me anymore. Forever wasn't a little girl cowering in the closet. Forever wasn't the shadows sitting in the back of the class. Forever wasn't doing what I thought Carl and Rose wanted instead of what I needed to do with my life. Forever wasn't believing I was some kind of replacement daughter and that I was letting them down. Forever wasn't being the one who needed protection. Forever wasn't pain and grief forever wasn't a problem. Forever was my heartbeat and it was the hope tomorrow held. Forever was the glistening silver lining of the dark cloud, no matter how heavy and thick it was. Forever was knowing it moments of weakness didn't equate to an eternity of them. Forever was knowing that I was strong. Forever was Carl and Rosa, Ainsley and Kira, Hector and Rider. Jaden would always be a part of my forever. Forever was in the fire-breathing dragon inside me that had shed the fear like a snake shedding skin. Forever was simply a promise of more. Forever was a work in progress. And I couldn't wait for forever. ~ Jennifer L. Armentrout
Real Courage quotes by Jennifer L. Armentrout
This is a perfect snapshot of the West at twilight. On the one hand, governments of developed nations microregulate every aspect of your life in the interests of 'keeping you safe.' ... On the other hand, when it comes to 'keeping you safe' from real threats, such as a millenarian theocracy that claims universal jurisdiction, America and its allies do nothing ... It is now certain that Tehran will get its nukes, and very soon. This is the biggest abdication of responsibility by the Western powers since the 1930s. ~ Mark Steyn
Real Courage quotes by Mark Steyn
It is easier to denature plutonium than to denature the evil spirit of man. ~ Albert Einstein
Real Courage quotes by Albert Einstein
Somewhere in this process you will come face-to-face with the sudden and shocking realization that you are completely crazy. Your mind is a shrieking gibbering madhouse on wheels barreling pell-mell down the hill utterly out of control and hopeless. No problem. You are not crazier than you were yesterday. It has always been this way and you just never noticed. You are also no crazier than everybody else around you. The only real difference is that you have confronted the situation they have not. ~ Henepola Gunaratana
Real Courage quotes by Henepola Gunaratana
Why didn't you talk about whether women are funny or not?
I just felt that by commenting on that in any real way, it would be tacit approval of it as a legitimate debate, which it isn't. ~ Mindy Kaling
Real Courage quotes by Mindy Kaling
I've been down to the Ecolodge in Panama, but there really are only a handful of real green hotels in the U.S. ~ Barry Sternlicht
Real Courage quotes by Barry Sternlicht
The Drama Years is filled with heart-stirring stories, just-been-there advice from recent teens and practical, actionable tips for parents. It's full of real girls talking about everything from stress and body image to love and materialism. Reading this book, I cringed in recognition of my own drama years, just wishing this book had been around back then and so grateful I'll have it as a guide for my own daughter. ~ Melissa Walker
Real Courage quotes by Melissa Walker
There is a sacred calling on your life, and the question is: Will you spend your life flittering and fluttering about or take the time and really heed that call and create your own path to your highest good? ... You cannot let other people define your life for you. You are the author of your own life ... Real power is when you are doing exactly what you are supposed to be doing, the best it can be done. Authentic power. There's a surge, there's a kind of energy field that says, "I'm in my groove, I'm in my groove." And nobody has to tell you, "You go, girl," because you know you're already gone. ~ Oprah Winfrey
Real Courage quotes by Oprah Winfrey
That was the missed moment. I should have put out a hand and taken her arm and said, "Here I am. Ask me. Now. The real question! Tell me. While I'm here. Ask me before it's too late. ~ J.L. Carr
Real Courage quotes by J.L. Carr
There is real danger in the world. And that is precisely why a correction is in order – new curricula containing some meaningful visionary thinking about the life of the moral mind and a free and flourishing spirit can operate in a context increasingly dangerous to its health. But if scientific language is about longer individual life in exchange for an ethical one; if political agenda is the xenophobic protection of a few of our families against the catastrophic others; if secular language bridles in fear of the sacred; if the future of knowledge is not wisdom but "upgrade", where might we look for humanity's own future? ~ Toni Morrison
Real Courage quotes by Toni Morrison
Love grants us the power to forgive, to love when we're hurt, but it also gives us the courage to let go, and the understanding that to love, we love freely - at our own choice. ~ J.C. Reed
Real Courage quotes by J.C. Reed
But here's an even better truth: God knows you can't make it right. None of it. But He can. The day I took a good look at my sins - my real sins - was the day I discovered 1 John 1:9. 'But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness. ~ Susan May Warren
Real Courage quotes by Susan May Warren
I play Rock Band, which is Guitar Hero times ten. You can play with four people, so when you have parties, you have a real band. Nobody ever wants to sing, so I'm always the one throwing down on the mic. ~ Elizabeth Banks
Real Courage quotes by Elizabeth Banks
I used many times to touch my own chest and feel, under its asthmatic quiver, the engine of the heart and lungs and blood and feel amazed at what I sensed was the enormity of the power I possessed. Not magical power, but real power. The power simply to go on, the power to endure, that is power enough, but I felt I had also the power to create, to add, to delight, to amaze and to transform. ~ Stephen Fry
Real Courage quotes by Stephen Fry
For the problem of decision-making in our complicated world is not how to get the problem simple enough so that we can all understand it; the problem is how to get our thinking about the problem as complex as humanly possible
and thus approach (we can never match) the complexity of the real world around us. ~ Harlan Cleveland
Real Courage quotes by Harlan Cleveland
Suddenly I don't even care that I fell, because of that brief moment when I stood, and I wonder if this is what other people seem to have that I do not--this courage to fall because they have memory of standing. ~ Kerry Kletter
Real Courage quotes by Kerry Kletter
And I sit there alone with you and Dostoevsky as the real and the artificial heart continues to falter, famished ... I love you but don't know what to do. ~ Charles Bukowski
Real Courage quotes by Charles Bukowski
America deserves a real discussion about real policy. ~ John F. Kerry
Real Courage quotes by John F. Kerry
I've found what makes children happy doesn't always prepare them to be courageous, engaged adults. ~ Brene Brown
