So I think there must be more animation, and we must throw all doubts overboard, and also a certain lack of confidence. Do you want a motive for keeping one's serenity even when one is isolated and misunderstood, and has lost all chance for material happiness? This one thing remains - faith; one feels instinctively that an enormous number of things are changing and that everything will change. We are living in the last quarter of a century that will end again in a tremendous revolution.

The world belongs to those who set out to conquer it armed with self confidence and good humour.

Out of every difficulty Omnipotence can bring us, only let us in childlike confidence cast our burden upon the Lord.

Confidence, like the soul, never returns whence it has once departed

Each time we face our fear, we gain strength, courage, and confidence in the doing.

Even in a world that's being shipwrecked, remain brave and strong.

We have to be braver than we think we can be, because God is constantly calling us to be more than we are.

Courage doesn't mean we're not afraid anymore, it just means our actions aren't controlled by our doubts.

Courage is an inner resolution to go forward despite obstacles; Cowardice is submissive surrender to circumstances.

it's easy to stand in the crowd but it takes courage to stand alone

Take courage. We walk in the wilderness today and in the Promised Land tomorrow

Be strong and of good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed.
