20 Quotes about courage

by Babett Wollin, 19.03.2021

This month’s blog is about courage. We live in unprecedented and challenging times and one thing that is so essential now is courage and not giving into fear and worry. It does not need many words. Instead I want to share some powerful quotes about courage and let others speak. I want to share the wisdom of generations before and what they had to say. 

One important thought before we start: Courage is not the absence of fear. Courage is doing something despite fear. However, we must be aware that there are two types of fear. First, unfounded fear and worry that has no basis. Because most of the fears and worries we have never come to pass. The second type of fear is our intuitive fear, an uneasy feeling that we have, e.g. about a certain place or a certain situation. We should never ignore this second type of fear. On the contrary, we should always listen to it because it is there to protect us.

I hope you enjoy this different format and can draw a lot of strength and motivation from from these quotes.

Print out the pictures with the courage quotes, place them on your desk or stick them to your fridge. It has a big impact on your subconscious mind which should not be underestimated, because your subconscious mind learns by repetition. This way you quickly can internalize these powerful messages about courage.
