Quotes About Courage
Do the thing you fear to do and keep on doing it… that is the quickest and surest way ever yet discovered to conquer fear. - Dale Carnegie Quote
Courage is not the absence of fear; rather it is the ability to take action in the face of fear. - Nancy Anderson
You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, “I lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.” you must do the thing that you think you cannot do. - Eleanor Roosevelt Quote
The difference between a hero and a coward is one step sideways. - Gene Hackman (!!!)
Real courage is when you know you’re licked before you begin, but you begin anyway and see it through no matter what. - Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird
Most of us have far more courage than we ever dreamed possible. - Dale Carnegie

Keep up the good work! You’ve made an excellent point. Another of my favorite quotes on courage and fearless living, which you’re unlikely to find on the Internet, is by Shawn Phillips, author of AbSolution (and brother of Bill Phillips (author of Body-for-LIFE)). Mr. Phillips quote goes like this:
“The greater tragedy is not in those lives lost in death, but in those lives lost while still living.”
I believe this quote encompasses the core of fear and courage. To live life to the fullest we must embrace courage and conquer fear. If not we live a life of mediocrity because we’re always in a state of anxiety and emotional turmoil for not living up to our truest potential.
In the ebook Dream Your Life Positively, a friend of mine surprised me with his question: “you should ask yourself a simple question before starting; do you have the will and courage to accept full responsibilities of your wishes and actions?”
To me it is not just being alive that makes life worth living, but the depth and sense you bring to your life. Ant that requires a lot of courage to accomplish.
