Fear is a habit; I am not afraid.

Fearlessness may be a gift but perhaps the more precious thing is the courage acquired through endeavor, courage that comes from cultivating the habit of refusing to let fear dictate one's actions, courage that could be described as 'grace under pressure'- grace which is renewed repeatedly in the face of harsh, unremitting pressure.

Serenity comes from the ability to say "Yes" to existence. Courage comes from the ability to say "No" to the wrong choices made by others.

The question isn't who is going to let me; it's who is going to stop me.

Do not let the hero in your soul perish...

It's not a question of who will allow me to do it, it's a question of who will stop me.

Be brave and take risks… You don't have to have it all figured out to move forward.

No matter what storm you face, you need to know God loves you. He has not abandoned you.

And the trouble is, if you don't risk anything, you risk even more.

I love to see a young girl go out and grab the world by the lapels.

Because of a great love, one is courageous.

Evolution and all hopes for a better world rest in the fearlessness and open-hearted vision of people who embrace life.
