Courage: Quotes

Some quotes I found about courage that I really like:

3rd Agreement: Don’t Make Assumptions. Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness and drama. With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life.”
~ Don Miguel Ruiz from The Four Agreements Courage Quotes - Honesty

“A 'No' uttered from deepest conviction is better and greater than a 'Yes' merely uttered to please, or what is worse, to avoid trouble.”
~ Mahatma Gandhi20th century Indian spiritual & political leader

Life is a process of becoming, a combination of states we have to go through. Where people fail is that they wish to elect a state and remain in it. This is a kind of death. Anais Nin

Life is truly known only to those who suffer, lose, endure adversity and stumble from defeat to defeat. Anais Nin

Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage. Anais Nin
