“Promise me you’ll always remember that you’re braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.” (Christopher Robin) 

“In the flush of love’s light, we dare be brave. And suddenly we see that love costs all we are, and will ever be. Yet it is only love which sets us free.”

“Owning our story and loving ourselves through that process is the bravest thing we’ll ever do.”

“Be brave. Without bravery, you will never know the world as richly as it longs to be known. Without bravery, your life will remain small – far smaller than you probably wanted your life to be.”

“Bravery is the ability to look fear and hurt in the face and say move aside, you are in the way.”

“Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.”

“Then there is a still higher type of courage – the courage to brave pain, to live with it, to never let others know of it and to still find joy in life; to wake up in the morning with an enthusiasm for the day ahead.”

“To a brave man, good and bad luck are like his left and right hand. He uses both.”

“I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. ‘Tis the business of little minds to shrink, but he whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death.”

“Be brave even if you’re not, pretend to be. No one can tell the difference.”

“Being brave meant that though you might be frightened, you would face the greatest danger if you knew it was the right thing to do.”

“Be brave. Remember that bravery is not the lack of fear but the ability to move forward in spite of fear.”

Brave - who we are every day. That is the only choice.

The real difficulty is to overcome how you think about yourself. If we don’t have that we never grow, we never learn, and sure as hell we should never teach.

Bravery is knowing what you are about to do will be painful, but you do it anyway because it must be done if we are to live by our values
