"Courage can’t see around corners but goes around them anyway." ― Mignon McLaughlin Topic(s): Courage More From Mignon McLaughlin "There is always some specific moment when we become aware that our youth is gone; but, years after, we know it was much later." "Our strength is often composed of the weakness that we’re damned if we’re going to show." "Society honors its living conformists and its dead troublemakers." More In Courage "You don’t develop courage by being happy in your relationships everyday. You develop it by surviving difficult times and challenging adversity."― Epicurus "Have the courage of your desire."― George Gissing "Washington’s answer to a self-inflicted financial crisis reminded Americans why they so deeply distrust the political class. The ‘fiscal cliff’ process was secretive and sloppy, and the nation’s so-called leadership lacked the political courage to address our root problems: joblessness and debt."― Ron Fournier
