Physical courage is never in short supply in a fighting army. Moral courage sometimes is.
He who remains cheerful in spirit and sees only the good side of all things, who never allows himself to be spiritually downcast but keeps his head high and courage in his heart, he sets in motion those fine, still powers, which make every step through life The more one loves the nearer he approaches to God, for God is the spirit of infinite love.
Courage | God | Good | Heart | Life | Life | Love | Spirit | Wisdom | God |
Paul Valéry, fully Ambroise-Paul-Toussaint-Jules Valéry
Every enthusiast contains a false enthusiast, every lover a false lover, every man of genius a false man of genius, and, as a rule, every fault its counterfeit: this is necessary in order to assure the continuity of one's personality, not only in the eyes of others but in one's own - in order to understand oneself, count upon oneself, think of oneself; in order, in short, to be oneself.
Fault | Genius | Man | Order | Personality | Rule | Wisdom | Fault | Think | Understand |

It takes a lot of courage to show your dreams to someone else.
We are material in the hands of the Genius of the universe for a still larger destiny that we cannot see in the everlasting rhythm of worlds.
Elizabeth Browning, fully Elizabeth Barrett Browning
Since when was genius found respectable?
