Courage is contagious. When a brave man takes a stand, the spines of others are often stiffened. Billy Graham
Few persons have courage to appear as good as they really are. J.C. Hare
Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage. Anais Nin
I would define true courage to be a perfect sensibility of the measure of danger, and a mental willingness to incur it. William Tecumseh Sherman
Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear- not absence of fear. Mark Twain
What does courage mean in my daily life right now?
Being an advocate for others when it isn't the popular thing to do. Taking the high road when I want to fight back. Submitting to the authority over me. Stepping up to new challenges instead of leaving them for others more experienced and confident. Working with excellence- not holding back from my potential. Calling out the good in others and not allowing them to shrink back.
What does courage mean for you?

I've always appreciated another quote which C.S. Lewis uses on a couple of occasions but which actually comes from Samuel Johnson:
"Where courage is not, no other virtue can exist except by accident"
Great quotes, friend. Your life is insanely busy yet you are constantly growing and not staying stagnant. Keep it up. Keep being courageous for your patients.
