In a false quarrel there is no true valor.

All men hate the nagging.

Don’t be afraid to see what you see.

Courage is not simply one of the virtues, but the form of every virtue at the testing point.

None but a coward dares to boast that he has never known fear.

If I were dropped out of a plane into the ocean and told the nearest land was a thousand miles away, I’d still swim. And I’d despise the one who gave up.

It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to our enemies, but just as much to stand up to our friends.

Just as courage imperils life, fear protects it.

I have a scheme for stopping war. It’s this – no nation is allowed to enter a war till they have paid for the last one.

A lot of people ask me when I do a stunt, ‚Jackie, are you scared?‘ Of course I’m scared. I’m not Superman.

More than an end to war, we want an end to the beginning of all wars – yes, an end to this brutal, inhuman and thoroughly impractical method of settling the differences between governments.

Let us move from the era of confrontation to the era of negotiation.

Daring to set boundaries is about having the courage to love ourselves, even when we risk disappointing others.

When we tackle obstacles, we find hidden reserves of courage and resilience we did not know we had. And it is only when we are faced with failure do we realise that these resources were always there within us. We only need to find them and move on with our lives.

I have a feeling that I make a very good friend, and I’m a good mother, and a good sister, and a good citizen. I am involved in life itself – all of it. And I have a lot of energy and a lot of nerve.

We can best help you to prevent war not by repeating your words and following your methods but by finding new words and creating new methods.

He who has courage and faith will never perish in misery!

A disagreement or incident involving someone who’s not that important to you, like a guy who cut you off in traffic or a rude cashier, is something that should roll off your shoulders. Save the effort for resolving conflicts with the people you cherish.

Peace is not absence of conflict, it is the ability to handle conflict by peaceful means.

Efforts and courage are not enough without purpose and direction.

Adventures are to the adventurous.

He who has faith has… an inward reservoir of courage, hope, confidence, calmness, and assuring trust that all will come out well – even though to the world it may appear to come out most badly.

A great part of courage is the courage of having done the thing before.

The first virtue in a soldier is endurance of fatigue; courage is only the second virtue.

When will mankind be convinced and agree to settle their difficulties by arbitration?

Notifying the enemy in advance of our withdrawal dates or reassuring the enemy that we will not use certain capabilities like our ground forces should be avoided.

He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life.

People grow through experience if they meet life honestly and courageously. This is how character is built.

I have this feeling that the world is not in balance. And people are afraid, but we’re also starting to be really brave.

Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. The fearful are caught as often as the bold.

Law is always better than war.

Sports are such a great teacher. I think of everything they’ve taught me: camaraderie, humility, how to resolve differences.

My position has always been, along with many other people, that any differences be resolved in a nonviolent way.

Lets have faith that right makes might; and in that faith let us, to the end, dare to do our duty as we understand it.

I do not believe there is a problem in this country or the world today which could not be settled if approached through the teaching of the Sermon on the Mount.

How very little can be done under the spirit of fear.

Courage is knowing what not to fear.

He who dreads hostility too much is unfit to rule.

Live as brave men; and if fortune is adverse, front its blows with brave hearts.

The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.

What can you do against the lunatic who is more intelligent than yourself, who gives your arguments a fair hearing and then simply persists in his lunacy?

But I do not believe that the world would be entirely different if there were more women leaders. Maybe if everybody in leadership was a woman, you might not get into the conflicts in the first place. But if you watch the women who have made it to the top, they haven’t exactly been non-aggressive – including me.

Poverty breeds despair. We know this. Despair breeds violence. We know this. In turbulent times, isn’t it cheaper, and smarter, to make friends out of potential enemies than to defend yourself against them later?

I’m not somebody that just wants to hold up a white flag and say, ‚Let’s all just get along.‘ I think people that do horrible things should be held accountable.

The peasant must always be helped technically, economically, morally and culturally. The guerrilla fighter will be a sort of guiding angel who has fallen into the zone, helping the poor always and bothering the rich as little as possible in the first phases of the war.

Jump, and you will find out how to unfold your wings as you fall.

The capability of negotiating… is something that means you not only have to understand fully what you believe and what your national interests are but in order to be a really good negotiator, you have to try to figure out what the other person on the other side of the table has in mind.

If there was less sympathy in the world, there would be less trouble in the world.

I don’t know how to function without music. When I’m not making it, I’m listening to it. It gives me courage and takes care of my mind.

America was not built on fear. America was built on courage, on imagination and an unbeatable determination to do the job at hand.

We are going to have peace even if we have to fight for it.

We should meet abuse by forbearance. Human nature is so constituted that if we take absolutely no notice of anger or abuse, the person indulging in it will soon weary of it and stop.

People generally quarrel because they cannot argue.

Wherever the invitation of men or your own occasions lead you, speak the very truth, as your life and conscience teach it, and cheer the waiting, fainting hearts of men with new hope and new revelation.

When you have no basis for an argument, abuse the plaintiff.

I want the Israeli government to be made accountable for its behaviour to the Palestinians, and I want the people of the U.S. to cease acting as if they don’t understand what is going on.

One must work and dare if one really wants to live.

Diplomacy is listening to what the other guy needs. Preserving your own position, but listening to the other guy. You have to develop relationships with other people so when the tough times come, you can work together.

I was bold in the pursuit of knowledge, never fearing to follow truth and reason to whatever results they led, and bearding every authority which stood in their way.

Virtue is bold, and goodness never fearful.

Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dream.
