"Courage is not simply one of the..." - Quote by C S Lewis

“Read and Re-Read--"Re-reading, we always find a new book.”

“No one ever told me that grief felt so like fear.”

“There is no use in talking as if forgiveness were easy. For we find that the work of forgiveness has to be done over and over again.”

“We Americans have many grave problems to solve, many threatening evils to fight, and many deeds to do, if, as we hope and believe, we have the wisdom, the strength, and the courage and the virtue to do them. But we must face facts as they are. We must neither surrender ourselves to a foolish optimism, nor succumb to a timid and ignoble pessimism.”

“Daring to reach, to climb, to crawl, to scratch, to get back up when you've been knocked down, to push forward - ever forward - to forgive. It means sacrificing everything if necessary, to carve out a place for your own existence. It means living.”

“The time to take counsel of your fears is before you make an important battle decision. That's the time to listen to every fear you can imagine! When you have collected all the facts and fears and made your decision, turn off all your fears and go ahead!”

“I, place economy among the first & most important republican virtues, & public debt as the greatest of the dangers to be feared”

“Virtue is increased by the smile of approval; and the love of renown is the greatest incentive to honourable acts.”

“It still remains true that no justification of virtue will enable a man to be virtuous.”
