Courage Means You Don't Run Away, Even Though You Are Running Scared


Keep Up Your Courage Sayings

“Courage means you do not run away, even though you are running scared.” - Quotesan


Courage is the spirit of virtue. There are different kinds of courage, that includes physical strength, endurance to mental stamina and innovation. 

Courage is feeling fear, but you choose to soldier on. It is said that courage is the wiser brother of fear. 

To quote Samuel Johnson,"Courage is the greatest of all the virtues. Because if you haven't courage, you may not have an opportunity to use any of the others." 

Courage means you don't run away, even though you are running scared
Here is an excerpt from the speech "Citizenship In A Republic" by Theodore Roosevelt about courage:

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”   - Theodore Roosevelt
