Courage Quotes
Here’s a group of quotes on courage I collected this morning.
Attacking is the only secret. Dare and the world always yields; or if it beats you sometimes, dare it again, and it will succumb.

Steve Jobs says:
“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living
someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma, which is living with the
results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’
opinions drown out your own inner voice, heart and intuition. They
somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is
secondary.”
Tony Robbins

George S. Patton on Winning a Battle
“Now if you are going to win any battle you have to do one thing. You have to make the mind run the body. Never let the body tell the mind what to do. The body will always give up. It is always tired in the morning, noon, and night. But the body is never tired if the mind is not tired.”
- George S. Patton, U.S. Army General, 1912 Olympian
