Another thing about courage is that it will help you think and act in the right way. It will keep you focused on the opportunities in front of you, instead of on the problems.

Courage consists not in hazarding without fear; but being resolutely minded in a just cause.

The awareness of being a child of God tends to stabilize the ego and results in a new courage, fearlessness, and power. I have seen it happen again and again.

Every acquisition, every step forward in knowledge is the result of courage, of severity toward oneself, of cleanliness with respect to oneself.

Wisdom lies in clarity.

You will never do anything in this world without courage. It is the greatest quality of the mind next to honor.

A brave mind is always impregnable. True courage is the result of reasoning.

Clarity of mind means clarity of passion, too; this is why a great and clear mind loves ardently and sees distinctly what it loves.

Every achievement, every step forward in knowledge, is the consequence of courage, of toughness towards oneself, of sincerity to oneself

Every attainment, every step forward in knowledge, follows from courage, from hardness against oneself, from cleanliness in relation to oneself.

...true self-esteem comes from competence, not the other way around.

Courage isn’t charging into a machine gun nest. Courage is not caring what other people think.

Clear thinker” is a better compliment than “smart.

Courage is not the absence of fear. Only fools have no fear.
Rather, courage is the intellectual mastery of fear by understanding
the true risks and opportunities of the situation and keeping those
things in balance
