William Shakespeare on courage

If music be the food of love, play on.

This above all: to thine own self be true, and it must follow, as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man.

Cowards die many times before their deaths. The valiant never taste of death but once.

Courage is the first of human qualities because it is the quality which guarantees the others.

Aristotle384–322 BC

Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.

A coward is incapable of exhibiting love; it is the prerogative of the brave.

Mahatma Gandhi1869–1948
