One man with courage makes a majority. Hope is the power that gives us the power to step out and try. Every man has his own courage, and is betrayed because he seeks in himself the courage of other persons. It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare; it is because we do not dare that they are difficult. Sometimes even to live is an act of courage. Faced with what is right, to leave it undone shows a lack of courage. Man cannot discover new oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore. It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure, to embrace the new. But there is no real security in what is no longer meaningful. God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage.
