Courage is the human virtue that counts most-courage to act on limited knowledge and insufficient evidence. That's all any of us have.

It requires more courage to suffer than to die.

Courage cannot be counterfeited. It is one virtue that escapes hypocrisy.

Courage isn't having the strength to go on - it is going on when you don't have strength.

I am not willing that the vitality of our people be further sapped by the giving of cash, of market baskets, of a few hours of weekly work cutting grass, raking leaves or picking up papers in the public parks. We must preserve not only the bodies of the unemployed from destitution but also their self-respect, their self-reliance and courage and determination.

And let our hearts be stout, to wait out the long travail, to bear sorrows that may come, to impart our courage unto our sons wheresoever they may be.
