#bravery

"There are two things we should always be 1. raw and 2. ready. When you are raw, you are always ready and when you are ready you usually realize that you are raw. Waiting for perfection is not an answer, one cannot say "I will be ready when I am perfect"because then you will never be ready, rather one must say "I am raw and I am ready just like this right now, how and who I am."

"Always have faith in yourself and the universe, for one will not get you anywhere without the other. Both must be equally strong to reach your desires, for they are the wings that will lift you to your dreams."

"Don't be afraid of your fears. They're not there to scare you. They're there to let you know that something is worth it."

"Yet each man kills the thing he lovesBy each let this be heardSome do it with a bitter lookSome with a flattering wordThe coward does it with a kissThe brave man with a sword"

"She'd also called me brave...unless she was talking to the catfish."

"You can't be brave if you've only had wonderful things happen to you."

"Scared is what you're feeling. Brave is what you're doing."

"To be brave is to love someone unconditionally, without expecting anything in return. To just give. That takes courage, because we don't want to fall on our faces or leave ourselves open to hurt."

"Your words will either give you joy or give you sorrow, but if they were spoken without regret, they give you peace."

"She is free in her wildness, she is a wanderess, a drop of free water. She knows nothing of borders and cares nothing for rules or customs. 'Time' for her isn’t something to fight against. Her life flows clean, with passion, like fresh water."

"But often life asks much of you, and you either honor life by answering with all your heart, or you cower your way into your grave."

"In case you never get a second chance: don't be afraid!""And what if you do get a second chance?""You take it!"

"Let the first act of every morning be to make the following resolve for the day:- I shall not fear anyone on Earth. - I shall fear only God. - I shall not bear ill will toward anyone. - I shall not submit to injustice from anyone. - I shall conquer untruth by truth. And in resisting untruth, I shall put up with all suffering."

"Expose yourself to your deepest fear; after that, fear has no power, and the fear of freedom shrinks and vanishes. You are free."

"It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed."

"The biggest adventure you can ever take is to live the life of your dreams."

"It’s not unpatriotic to denounce an injustice committed on our behalf, perhaps it’s the most patriotic thing we can do."

"Courage and perseverance have a magical talisman, before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish into air."

"you can, you should, and if you’re brave enough to start, you will."

"You can't be a rebel without the scars that come with it. Truth is, some days scars are just as ugly as they are beautiful."
