Courage is rightly esteemed the first of human qualities... because it is the quality which guarantees all others.
— Winston Churchill
Courage
As an elephant in the battlefield withstands arrows shot from bows all around, even so shall I endure abuse.
"It is hard to be brave," said Piglet, sniffing slightly, "when you're only a Very Small Animal."
Piglet took Pooh's arm, in case Pooh was frightened.
"You only blinched inside," said Pooh, "and that's the bravest way for a Very Small Animal not to blinch that there is."
A person with belief never grovels before anyone, whining and whimpering that it's all too much, that he lacks support, that he is being treated unfairly. Instead, such a person tackes problems head on and then affirms, 'As a child of God, I am greater than anything that can happen to me.'
— A. P. J. Abdul Kalam
Belief

On me the tempest falls. It does not make me tremble. O holy Mother Earth, O air and sun, behold me. I am wronged.
It is easy to be brave from a safe distance.
