"Fear defeats more people than any other one thing in the world."

"Every man has his own courage, and is betrayed because he seeks in himself the courage of other persons."

"Whatever you do, you need courage. Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising that tempt you to believe your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires some of the same courage that a soldier needs. Peace has its victories, but it takes brave men and women to win them. "
