Courage is Beautiful

Courage is the most beautiful and noble trait a man or woman can have. The feeling of having risked all in service of a high ideal frees one and lets him charge forward with joy. Courage bears a man as if he had wings, and fills his heart. When everything depends on one card, when one can lose everything, when one can win everything, life is at its best.

Alongside “stormy courage” is the “indomitable courage” of those facing hard fate. “Fate is great and powerful, but greater still is the person who bears it unshaken.”

Life is often harder than death. A coward holds on to it. No one faces a challenge greater than the strength he has been given to face it. Courage overcomes all. When one has done all in his power, good luck comes to show him a new way and help him along. But it is not really good luck.

Courage is needed not only by the man, by the soldier, a woman too needs courage. For the man in battle, it is the greatest challenge. For the woman it comes when she gives a new person life. Men who no longer want to defend their people cannot face the mothers who give new life at the risk of their own. Courage must also be had in the every day life. It takes courage to stick to your beliefs when the world says you are wrong. It takes courage to do what is right. It takes courage to never give up. §Courage is the noblest trait of a man or woman. It determines the battle and gives victory.
