More In Courage "I would kiss you, had I the courage."― Edouard Manet "The criteria for serving one’s country should be competence, courage and willingness to serve. When we deny people the chance to serve because of their sexual orientation, we deprive them of their rights of citizenship, and we deprive our armed forces the service of willing and capable Americans."― Dianne Feinstein "It takes courage to know when you ought to be afraid."― James A. Michener
