“Courage is simply doing whatever is needed in pursuit of the vision.” ― [@sengeFifthDisciplineArt2006]

“Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear - not absence of fear.” — Mark Twain

“Courage is feeling fear, not getting rid of fear, and taking action in the face of fear.” — Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart

“Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one’s courage.” — Anaïs Nin

“The only courage that matters is the kind that gets you from one moment to the next.” — Mignon McLaughlin

“You cannot swim for new horizons until you have courage to lose sight of the shore.” — William Faulkner

“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. ” ― C.S. Lewis, The Screwtape Letters

Courage is who you are when it’s inconvenient. When no one is watching. When the rewards are uncertain. When the outcomes are unpredictable.
