Thomas Merton on Courage

More quotes about Courage

  • "Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition."

    Steve Jobs on Courage

    Eleanor Roosevelt on Courage

  • "I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear."

    Nelson Mandela on Courage

    Winston Churchill on Courage
