"Hardships make or break people."

"I was bold in the pursuit of knowledge, never fearing to follow truth and reason to whatever results they led."

"Courage will now be your best defence against the storm that is at hand-—that and such hope as I bring."

"If you have a dream, don’t just sit there. Gather courage to believe that you can succeed and leave no stone unturned to make it a reality."

"Wisdom is knowledge plus courage. You not only have to know what to do and when—but you have to be brave enough to actually act on it."

"The two hardest tests on the spiritual road are the patience to wait for the right moment and the courage not to be disappointed with what we encounter."

"That was courage, Keller thought. Not doing something without being afraid, but doing something even though you were afraid."

"Everyone has talent. What's rare is the courage to follow it to the dark places where it leads."

"It take faith to follow your dreams and courage to reach them."

"Courage does not always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, 'I will try again tomorrow."

"Listen to the people who love you. Believe that they are worth living for even when you don't believe it. Seek out the memories depression takes away and project them into the future. Be brave; be strong; take your pills. Exercise because it's good for you even if every step weighs a thousand pounds. Eat when food itself disgusts you. Reason with yourself when you have lost your reason."

"As long as we have faith in our own cause and an unconquerable will to win, victory will not be denied us."

"If I am to be fallen into love, I will. And if as a result I will appear to be stupid, disillusioned, and of poor judgment, I will. And I would be damned if I cared what other people think. For I would rather be thought of as all of these things, than not love. If in loving, I become the naked woman on the horse, I will ride that horse with my head held high. This is my spirit. I am unbreakable."

"IT IS BY CHOICE AND NOT BY CHANCES THAT WE CHANGE OUR CIRCUMSTANCES."

"it takes as much courage to have tried and failed as it does to have tried and succeded."

"Above all, be the heroine of your life, not the victim."
