A man, who realizes the potential of his mind by means of introspection and contemplation, does not lack self – confidence. He has control over his mind, and he is able to realize its full potential.

A man’s value depends upon his courage and resolution, his veracity depends upon his traits of nobility and self-respect and his chastity depends upon his sense of honor.

There are always difficulties arising which tempt you to believe that your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires courage.

Courage is not simply one of the virtues, but the form of every virtue at the testing point.
