Remember the cowardly lion in The Wizard of Oz? The concept completely overturned the typical belief that lions are brave. That unique and subtle message teaches us that no matter how great someone is, no matter how fearful they appear to be, they too are bound to have fear.

Each one of us has our own set of fears that stop us from attaining our true potential. If you find that you lack the courage to take that little step forward, here are some courage quotes to motivate you. Maybe if the cowardly lion had read some of these courage quotes he would not have to go all the way to Oz to find courage.

Winston Churchill
Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.


Billy Graham
Courage is contagious. When a brave man takes a stand, the spines of others are often stiffened.

Erica Jong
Everyone has a talent, what is rare is the courage to follow the talent to the dark place where it leads.


Harold Wilson
Courage is the art of being the only one who knows you're scared to death.

James Allen
Whether you be man or woman you will never do anything in this world without courage. It is the greatest quality of the mind next to honor.

Lao-Tzu
Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength; loving someone deeply gives you courage.

Mary Anne Radmacher-Hershey
Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says... I'll try again tomorrow.

Robert Anthony
Courage is simply the willingness to be afraid and act anyway.

Tori Amos
Healing takes courage, and we all have courage, even if we have to dig a little to find it.

Winston Churchill
Courage is going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm.

“This is my wish for you: Comfort on difficult days, smiles when sadness intrudes, rainbows to follow the clouds, laughter to kiss your lips, sunsets to warm your heart, hugs when spirits sag, beauty for your eyes to see, friendships to brighten your being, faith so that you can believe, confidence for when you doubt, courage to know yourself, patience to accept the truth, Love to complete your life.”

Take care, folks. God bless you all.
