"It is only necessary to have courage, for strength without self-confidence is useless." ― Giacomo Casanova Topic(s): Courage More From Giacomo Casanova "The man who has sufficient power over himself to wait until his nature has recovered its even balance is the truly wise man, but such beings are seldom met with." "The history of my life must begin by the earliest circumstance which my memory can evoke; it will therefore commence when I had attained the age of eight years and four months." "I have met with some of them – very honest fellows, who, with all their stupidity, had a kind of intelligence and an upright good sense, which cannot be the characteristics of fools." More In Courage "It takes someone with a vision of the possibilities to attain new levels of experience. Someone with the courage to live his dreams."― Les Brown "Coffee and smoking are the last great addictions."― Lara Flynn Boyle "We need to recognise that the whole edifice of our fifth estate, of our journalism, has been built on a foundation of newspaper journalism and that that foundation is crumbling. The management of the media companies will deny that the end is nigh. I hope they are right."― Malcolm Turnbull
