"People with courage and character always seem sinister to the rest." ― Hermann Hesse Topic(s): Courage More From Hermann Hesse "To be able to throw one’s self away for the sake of a moment, to be able to sacrifice years for a woman’s smile – that is happiness." "Knowledge can be communicated, but not wisdom. One can find it, live it, be fortified by it, do wonders through it, but one cannot communicate and teach it." "Some of us think holding on makes us strong; but sometimes it is letting go." More In Courage "Although the war in which you fought took place more than half-a-century ago, your courage, your sacrifice and your patriotism reaches through the decades and inspires us today."― Mike Ferguson "If I am to be known for anything, I would like it to be for encouraging Canadians, for knowing a little bit about their daily, extraordinary courage. And for wanting that courage to be recognized."― Romeo LeBlanc "Let us go forth with fear and courage and rage to save the world."― Grace Paley
