Famous quotes containing the word courage:

    I have perceived much beauty
    In the hoarse oaths that kept our courage straight;
    Heard music in the silentness of duty;
    Found peace where shell-storms spouted reddest spate.
    Wilfred Owen (1893–1918)

    “Shall I tell you what you have that other men don’t?.... It’s the courage of your own tenderness.”
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    For Virtue in her daily Race,
    Like Janus bears a double Face;
    Looks back with Joy where she has gone,
    And therefore goes with Courage on.
    Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)
