#bravery

And one has to understand that braveness is not the absence of fear but rather the strength to keep on going forward despite the fear. ↗

To know a species, look at its fears. To know yourself, look at your fears. Fear in itself is not important, but fear stands there and points you in the direction of things that are important. Don't be afraid of your fears, they're not there to scare you; they're there to let you know that something is worth it. ↗

I am not a courageous person by nature. I have simply discovered that, at certain key moments in this life, you must find courage in yourself, in order to move forward and live. It is like a muscle and it must be exercised, first a little, and then more and more. All the really exciting things possible during the course of a lifetime require a little more courage than we currently have. A deep breath and a leap. ↗

Bravery is a willing decision to do what must be done. Fear is a cancer that is cured only by doing what must be done, backed by an intelligent, open mind. ↗

Laughing in the face of danger doesn't negate the fear, it simply enables you to smile at it. ↗

Many of the bravest never are known, and get no praise. [But]that does not lessen their beauty... ↗

There are no brave men and cowardly men in the world, my son. There are only brave men. To be born, to live, to die—that takes courage enough in itself, and more than enough. We are all brave men and we are all afraid, and what the world calls a brave man, he too is brave and afraid like the all rest of us. Only he is brave for five minutes longer. ↗

I thought then that you were the bravest girl I’d ever met, and nothing that’s happened since has changed my mind. ↗
