"I don’t understand why people say that I am full of courage. I feel terribly nervous." ― Aung San Suu Kyi Topic(s): Courage Tags: people, understand More From Aung San Suu Kyi "My attitude to peace is rather based on the Burmese definition of peace – it really means removing all the negative factors that destroy peace in this world. So peace does not mean just putting an end to violence or to war, but to all other factors that threaten peace, such as discrimination, such as inequality, poverty." "If I advocate cautious optimism it is not because I do not have faith in the future but because I do not want to encourage blind faith." "One wants to be together with one’s family. That’s what families are about." More In Courage "Love makes a subtle man out of a crude one, it gives eloquence to the mute, it gives courage the cowardly and makes the idle quick and sharp."― Juan Ruiz "As the first Hispanic female governor in history, little girls often come up to me in the grocery store or the mall. They look and point, and when they get the courage, they ask ‘Are you Susana?’ and they run up and give me a hug."― Susana Martinez "A life lesson for me is, how do you muster the courage to take on a new risk? Whether it’s starting up a business or taking on a new project or expedition. I think the risks that we take are all relative to the risk-taker."― Ann Bancroft
