Kennedy "The courage of life is often a less dramatic spectacle than the courage of a final moment; but it is no less a magnificent mixture of triumph and tragedy."

More In Courage "The problem is when you are writing something in retrospective, it needs a lot of courage not to change, or you will forget a certain reality, and you will just take in consideration your view today."― Boutros Boutros-Ghali "At the bottom of not a little of the bravery that appears in the world, there lurks a miserable cowardice. Men will face powder and steel because they have not the courage to face public opinion."― Edwin Hubbel Chapin "Courage is almost a contradiction in terms. It means a strong desire to live taking the form of readiness to die."― Gilbert K. Chesterton
