Dan Millman Courage Quotations

Do you have the courage for it? Do you have the love? If you have enough of one, you will develop the other.

Don't wait until you die to learn the warrior's way. Do it now, each night, just before you drift off to sleep. As you review your day, consider these two questions of courage and love. Learn from each day, so that each day you can show a little more courage and a little more love. Then, as incidents occur, you may rise to the occasion and look back at the end of your life and feel good about the way you lived.

Moderation? It's mediocrity, fear, and confusion in disguise. It's the devil's dilemma. It's neither doing nor not doing. It's the wobbling compromise that makes no one happy. Moderation is for the bland, the apologetic, for the fence-sitters of the world afraid to take a stand. It's for those afraid to laugh or cry, for those afraid to live or die. Moderation...is lukewarm tea, the devil's own brew.

Your fears are not walls, but hurdles. Courage is not the absence of fear, but the conquering of it.

When we feel stuck, going nowhere-even starting to slip backward-we may actually be backing up to get a running start.
