Quotes on Bravery

Courage takes many forms. There is physical courage, there is moral courage. Then there is a still higher type of courage - the courage to brave pain, to live with it, to never let others know of it and to still find joy in life; to wake up in the morning with an enthusiasm for the day ahead.

I tell my kids, what is the difÂferÂence between a hero and a cowÂard? What is the difÂferÂence between being yelÂlow and being brave? No difÂferÂence. Only what you do. They both feel the same. They both fear dying and getÂting hurt. The man who is yelÂlow refusÂes to face up to what he’s got to face. The hero is more disÂciÂplined and he fights those feelÂings off and he does what he has to do. But they both feel the same, the hero and the cowÂard. PeoÂple who watch you judge you on what you do, not how you feel.
Cus D'Amato

The bravest and most noble are not those who take up arms, but those who are decent despite everything; who improve what it is in their power to improve, but do not imagine themselves to be saviours. In their humble struggle is true heroism.
