hold of a copy of Gone With The Wind, and she would take three or four hours out of her sleeping
time each night to read. And then, during the hour

tasted as many as you could. ~ Louise Erdrich

lose it, sometimes misplace it for years, and
sometimes live in its grace for a while. ~ Jonathan
Mayberry
176. Are you a born writer? Were you put on earth
to be a painter, a scientist, an apostle of peace? In
the end the question can only be answered by
action. Do it or don’t do it. It may help to think of it
this way. If you were meant to cure cancer or write
a symphony or crack cold fusion and you don’t do it, you not only hurt yourself, even destroy yourself,
you hurt your children. You hurt me. You hurt the
planet. You shame the angels who watch over you,
and you spite the Almighty, who created you and
only you with your unique gifts, for the sole
purpose of nudging the human race one millimeter farther along its path back to God. Creative work is
not a selfish act or a bid for attention on the part of
the actor. It’s a gift to the world and every being in
it. Don’t cheat us of your contribution. Give us what
you’ve got. ~ Steven Pressfield
177. Courage is being the only one who knows
how terrified you are. ~ Tom Clancy

178. She said, ‘You can be broken, or broken open.
That choice is yours.’
~ Erica Bauermeister
180. The real courage is in living and suffering for
what you believe.
~ Christopher Paolini
181. You should holistically build yourself to be the
best you. The evidence of your glorious life should
be an inspiration to many. You create your world
yourself in your own positive way. You are
stronger than ever and bolder than you think.
Brave the odds and initiate new imprints for all to aspire and follow your footprints. ~ Ifeanyi Enoch
Onuoha
182. Better to be a laughing-stock than lose the fort
for fear of being one.
~ Rosemary Sutcliff
183. They looked at each other. They weren’t
thinking anymore. The time for that had come and
gone. Smashed smiles lay ahead of them. But that
would be later. Arundhati Roy
184. You should holistically build yourself to be the
best you. The evidence of your glorious life should
be an inspiration to many. You create your world
yourself in your own positive way. You are
stronger than ever, and bolder than you think.
Brave the odds and initiate new imprints for all to aspire and follow your footprints. ~ Ifeanyi Enoch
Onuoha
185. She was beginning to realize people could
survive most things. Not because they were brave
or strong, but because there wasn’t any choice. ~
Candice Proct
186. Courage results when one’s convictions are
bigger than one’s fears.
~ Orrin Woodward
187. The real courage is in living and suffering for
what you believe.
~ Christopher Paolini
188. If we only arrange our life in accordance with
the principle which tells us that we must always
trust in the difficult, then what now appears to us as
the most alien will become our most intimate and
trusted experience. How could we forget those
ancient myths that stand at the beginning of all races, the myths about dragons that at the last
moment are transformed into princesses? Perhaps
all the dragons in our lives are princesses who are
only waiting to see us act, just once, with beauty
and courage.
~ Rainer Maria Rilke
189. Courage is an angel which makes the
difference between a good life and a great life. ~
Kate Reed
190. Walk tall; look the world in the eye. ~ Rhona
Cameron
191. Vulnerability sounds like truth and feels like
courage. Truth and courage aren’t always
comfortable, but they’re never weakness. ~ Brené
Brown
192. Courage is about learning how to function
despite the fear; to put aside your instincts to run or
give in completely to the anger born from fear.
Courage is about using your brain and your heart
when every cell of your body is screaming at you to
fight or flee – and then following through on what you believe is the right thing to do.
~ Jim Butcher
193. Go for it, my heart said, my heart always said. ~
Kimberly Novosel
194. Ideas combined with courage can change the
world. ~ David Litwack
195. Courage is fueled by the motivation to take the
first step into the unknown.
~ Cheryl Nielsen
196. Mindfulness allows you to face the past with
courage, whether it is scarred with pain or caressed
with joy, and it gently holds you in the safe haven
of the present without allowing you to become
overwhelmed with what may or may not be waiting
in the future. ~ Deborah A. Beasley

197. It wasn’t until I found the courage to look in
the mirror and say, ‘I Love You’ with conviction that
I felt truly amazing! If no one loves you, love
yourself! ~ R.S. Lewis

198. If you’re only looking out for yourself, you will
always be scared. But if there are other factors,
other concerns and considerations driving you,
you will always find the strength and courage to
overcome the danger and the fear. ~J.H. Myn
199. You cannot change your journey if you are
unwilling to move at all. ~ Ally Condie

200. That’s what courage is. Taking your
disappointments and your failures, your guilt and
your shame, all the wounds received and inflicted,
and sinking them in the past. Starting again.
Damning yesterday and facing tomorrow with your
head held high. Times change. It’s those that see it coming, and plan for it, and change themselves to
suit, that prosper. ~ Joe Abercrombie

201. Boldness be my friend. ~ William Shakespeare

202. One of the most powerful lessons in life is to
recognize that no one can give you power, and
many people don’t want you to have it. You have to
find the courage to seize it, own it and hold on! ~
Shannon L. Alder
203. If you want to do something courageous, try
Love. ~ Sean King
205. At least three times every day take a moment
and ask yourself what is really important. Have the
wisdom and the courage to build your life around
your answer. ~ Lee Jampolsky
206. Your ‘everybody’ probably represents even a
smaller proportion of the population than your
Rolodex. Psychologists have documented that our
typical everybody— to which they refer as the
‘generalized other’—is usually a collection of about
five or six people. ~ Margie Warrell

207. There is little faith involved in setting out on a
journey where the destination is certain and every
step in between has been mapped in detail.
Bravery…trust…are about leaving camp in the dark,
when we do not know the route ahead and cannot
be certain we will ever return. ~ Bear Grylls
208. Extra miles, extensive preparation and
exhaustive efforts usually show astonishing
results. ~ Roopleen
209. Legacy is not what’s left tomorrow when
you’re gone. It’s what you give, create, impact and
contribute today while you’re here that then
happens to live on.
~ Rasheed Ogunlaru
210. Dare to be brave today, and trust that when
you extend your wings, you will fly.
~ Mary DeMuth
211. Perhaps it is only the light. Perhaps it is the
power of the realms at work through me. Or
perhaps it is some combination of spirit and desire,
love and hope, some alchemy that we each possess
and can put to use, if first we know where to look
without flinching. ~ Libba Bray
212. We learn to appreciate what we achieve, no
matter how small the achievement, because we do
it ourselves. ~ Midge Rylander
213. Take down the walls. ~ Lauren Oliver
214. If we never had the courage to take a leap of
faith, we’d be cheating God out of a chance to
mount us up with wings like eagles and watch us
soar. ~ Jen Stephens

perseverance under pressure. ~ K.H. LeMoyne
