Joan was a being so uplifted from the ordinary run of mankind that she finds no equal in a thousand years. She embodied the natural goodness and valour of the human race in unexampled perfection. Unconquerable courage, infinite compassion, the virtue of the simple, the wisdom of the just, shone forth in her. She glorifies as she freed the soil from which she sprang.

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

The great courageous act that we must all do is to have the courage to step out of our history and past so that we can live our dreams.

Through every generation of the human race there has been a constant war, a war with fear. Those who have the courage to conquer it are made free and those who are conquered by it are made to suffer until they have the courage to defeat it, or death takes them.

Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.

Courage is rightly esteemed the first of human qualities... because it is the quality which guarantees all other.
