Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes

Courage doesn't know what's around the corner, but goes around it anyway.

The will to do, the soul to dare..

Happiness hates the timid. So does science.

One thing it takes to accomplish something is courage.

There is no magic method of beginning... Take hold of your nerves, and jump.

But the love of adventure was in father's blood.

The bravest are surely those who have the clearest vision of what is before them, glory and danger alike, and yet notwithstanding go out to meet it.

The word courage - God, I love that word. Words are so important to me.

Courage is never to let your actions be influenced by your fears.

One of the marks of a gift is to have the courage of it.

The Path that leadeth on is lighted by one fire - the light of daring burning in the heart. The more one dares, the more he shall obtain.

I do not wish to be melodramatic, but at some point I have to say it. If something bad should happen to me, I want you to know that my commitment to what I am doing has been freely contracted, with the joy of knowing that this is precisely what I should be doing at this moment. Fear is constantly present in each one of us, because none of us are movie heroes. But we refuse to accept that fear must condition our actions and prevent us from doing what with a cool head and fervent heart we understand should be done.

Courage is not the absence of fear; it is the making of action in spite of fear.

Being brave doesn't mean never being afraid, you know. It means going for it anyway because you know it's the right thing to do.

Even in the most bold and daring acts, courage is a matter of the heart.

To Dare is to risk losing your foothold for a moment, Not to Dare is to risk losing yourself.

Have courage and a little willingness to venture and be defeated.

Courage is nothing more than taking one step more than you think you can.

Courage is perhaps our most admirable trait. The man, or woman, who possesses it is able to plunge ahead, despite dangers, despite warnings, despite hazards of all kinds, to attack the task at hand. Often, it is indistinguishable from stupidity.

Only one thing matters, one thing; to be able to dare!

What is courage? Let me tell you what I think it is. An indefinable quality that makes a man put out that extra something, when it seems there is nothing else to give. I dare you to be better than you are. I dare you to be a thoroughbred.

Courage is the only Magic worth having.

Courage does not consist in calculation, but in fighting against chances.
