"It is only necessary to have courage, for strength without self-confidence is useless." ― Giacomo Casanova Topic(s): Courage More From Giacomo Casanova "For my future I have no concern, and as a true philosopher, I never would have any, for I know not what it may be: as a Christian, on the other hand, faith must believe without discussion, and the stronger it is, the more it keeps silent." "By recollecting the pleasures I have had formerly, I renew them, I enjoy them a second time, while I laugh at the remembrance of troubles now past, and which I no longer feel." "My success and my misfortunes, the bright and the dark days I have gone through, everything has proved to me that in this world, either physical or moral, good comes out of evil just as well as evil comes out of good." More In Courage "Therefore, don’t let sinners take courage to think they will be favoured like the thief on the cross; for we see on the other side, they may be like the hardened one, and reproach death itself."― Elias Hicks "I would be open about the fact that, clearly, politicians should be able to speak to each other. David Cameron doesn’t seem to accept this, but if the British people have voted then of course you have to try and provide good stable government."― Nick Clegg "Never undertake anything for which you wouldn’t have the courage to ask the blessings of heaven."― Georg C. Lichtenberg
