Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear - not absence of fear

Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear--not absence of fear.

It is curious-curious that physical courage should be so common in the world, and moral courage so rare. -Mark Twain.
