Courage has many faces.

Courage is not simply one of the virtues but the form of every virtue at the testing point, which means at the point of highest reality.

Courage is reckoned the greatest of all virtues; because, unless a man has that virtue, he has no security for preserving any other.

Courage is a quality so necessary for maintaining virtue that it is always respected, even when it is associated with vice.

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

Courage is the capacity to meet the anxiety which arises as one achieves freedom. It is the willingness to differentiate, to move from the protecting realms of parental dependence to new levels of freedom and integration.

Courage is grace under pressure.

Courage is rightly esteemed the first of human qualities, because, as has been said, 'it is the quality which guarantees all others.'
