Courage

It Takes Courage

  • It takes courage to refrain from gossip when others delight in it - to stand up for the absent person who is being abused. 
  • It takes courage to live honestly within your means, and not dishonestly on the means of others. 
  • It takes courage to be a REAL man or a TRUE woman, to hold fast to your ideals when it causes you to be looked upon as strange and peculiar. 
  • It takes courage to be talked about and remain silent, when a word would justify you in the eyes of others, but which you dare not speak because it would injure another. 
  • It takes courage to refuse to do something that is wrong although everyone else may be doing it with attitudes as carefree as a summer song. 
  • It takes courage to live according to your own convictions, to deny yourself what you cannot afford, to love your neighbor as yourself!
