Courage is the small quiet voice at the end of the day saying - try again tomorrow.
Maybe being grateful means recognising what you have for what it is.
Appreciating small victories.
Admiring the struggle it takes simply to be human.
Maybe we're thankful for the familar things we know.
And maybe we're thankful for the things we will never know.
At the end of the day, the fact that we have the courage to still be standing is
reason enough to celebrate.
What is at the summit of courage, I think, is freedom. The freedom that comes with the knowledge that no earthly power can break you; that an unbroken spirit is the only thing you cannot live without; that in the end it is the courage of conviction that moves things, that makes all change possible. (Paula Giddings)
Keep courage and try to be patient and gentle. And not mind being eccentric, and make the distinction between good and evil. (Vincent Van Gough)
It is better to be alone than in bad company. (George Washington)
Go confidently in the direction of your dreams! Live the life you have imagined. (Henry Thomas)
Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising which tempt you to believe that your critics are right. To map a course of action and follow it on to an end requires courage. ( Ralph Waldo Emerson)
Do what you believe in and believe in what you do. All else is a waste of energy. (Nisargadatta)
You gain stength, 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". ( Eleanor Roosevelt)
The meaning of life is the meaning that you decide to give it.
The ability to pursue a course, whether it is a popular one or not, is measured in courage.
The greater the courage, the greater the possibility we will act for change. (Mildred Pitts Walter)
Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence.
Talent will not, nothing is more common that unsuccessful people with talent.
Genius will not, unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.
Education will not, the world is full of educated derelicts.
Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.
The test of Courage comes when we are in the minority. (Ralph Sockman)
