Today I am in the mood for some courage quotes to kick start the day.  Here are a few by people I consider courageous.  Courage is required to reattempt a task after initial failure, and to continue on until success is reached.  Reading quotes of courage, fills me with confidence and a sense of inner power. Quotes are like condensed life lessons – to be shared with the world.
