Courage Quotes: Daily Inspiration to Be Brave
Being brave and standing firm in your faith
Courage is not the absence of fear — it is doing what needs to be done in the presence of it. The most celebrated courageous acts in history were not performed by fearless people but by people who were afraid and acted anyway. These courage quotes from writers, leaders, and activists capture that distinction and make the case that bravery is not a personality trait — it is a choice available to everyone.

What is the best quote about courage?
Mark Twain wrote: 'Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear — not absence of fear.' Nelson Mandela said: 'I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it.'
