Courage is rightly considered the foremost of the virtues, for upon it, all others depend.
Courage is going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm.
Courage is rightly esteemed the first of human qualities... because it is the quality which guarantees all others.
Success is never final. Failure is never fatal. It is courage that counts.
So long as I am acting from duty and conviction, I am indifferent to taunts and jeers. I think they will probably do me more good than harm.
Better to dare mighty things and fail than to live in a grey twilight where there is neither victory nor defeat.
The man who stands firm in order to protect a sand-castle can never be relied upon; for he has given away his common sense.
Have no fear of the future. Let us go forward into its mysteries, tear away the veils which hide it from our eyes, and move onwards with confidence and courage.
Success is never found. Failure is never fatal. Courage is the only thing.
Without courage all other virtues lose their meaning.
This is no time for ease and comfort. It is time to dare and endure.
Never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.
Courage is rightly considered the foremost of the virtues, for upon it all others depend.
We shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender.
