Courage is not simply one of the virtues, but the form of every virtue at the testing point. ~C.S. Lewis
A quick search summarized the definition of courage as having the moral and physical strength to face and withstand danger, fear, or difficulty; or to venture and persevere into the unknown. Moral courage is the willingness and determination to stand for what is right, even if it's risky or seems unpopular. The word "courage" comes from a root that means to "take heart", which reminds us how good and helpful it is to be encouraging towards others.
Having courage does not mean that we are unafraid. Having courage and showing courage means we face our fears. We are able to say, 'I have fallen, but I will get up.'" ~Maya Angelou
The right way is not always the popular and easy way. Standing for right when it is unpopular is a true test of moral character. ~Margaret Chase Smith
On Memorial Day, we honor the memories of the men and women who died in service to the United States of America. It takes courage and commitment to put your life on the line in this way, and it takes courage for the families too.
What we dedicate today is not a memorial to war, rather it's a tribute to the physical and moral courage that makes heroes out of farm and city boys and that inspires Americans in every generation to lay down their lives for people they will never meet, for ideals that make life itself worth living. ~Bob Dole
Courage and hope go hand-in-hand.
I believe that I shall look upon the goodness of the LORD
in the land of the living!
Wait for the LORD;
be strong, and let your heart take courage;
wait for the LORD!
~Psalm 27:13-14~
That's a valiant flea that dares eat his breakfast on the lip of a lion. ~William Shakespeare

And other thoughts besides mine, and other ways of thinking.
