"If one is going to err, one should err on the side of liberty and freedom." ― Kofi Annan Topic(s): Courage More From Kofi Annan "There is no development strategy more beneficial to society as a whole – women and men alike – than the one which involves women as central players." "The question is the morning after. What sort of Iraq do we wake up to after the bombing? What happens in the region? What impact could it have? These are questions leaders I have spoken to have posed." "More countries have understood that women’s equality is a prerequisite for development." More In Courage "Ronald Reagan’s well documented final battles with Alzheimer’s disease were fought with the same conviction and courage that his many public battles were fought."― William L. Jenkins "It’s up to the courage of the filmmakers to make art in cinema, not just business. John was rejected by studios, he borrowed money and did movies with his own money. You’re either courageous or not. You have to find a way."― Ben Gazzara "It takes far less courage to kill yourself than it takes to make yourself wake up one more time. It’s harder to stay where you are than to get out. For everyone but you, that is."― Judith Rossner
