can somebody define courage?

I have never believed that courage could be described as heroic except in exceptional circumstances.  A madman can be heroic whilst not having a morsel of courage.  A coward might never be heroic but by doing something he is terrified of doing makes him courageous.  The non-swimmer who jumps into a river to try to save a drowning child might be stupid and idiotic but he still has courage.  On the other hand a soldier trained in the used of weaponry who uses his skills to save other comrades may be a hero but not necessarily have any courage.\nTo sum up, I would say that a person who is frightened out of his wits at the prospect of doing something, yet does it despite that fact, is indeed courageous and shows the true meaning of 'courage'.

“The ingenuity of self-deception is inexhaustible”\n\n“Courage is the discovery that you may not win, and trying when you know you can lose.”\n\n\n“If you don't know where you are going, any road will get you there.”\n\n“The meaning of things lies not in the things themselves, but in our attitude towards them.”\n\nIf you have made mistakes...there is always another chance for\nyou...you may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this\nthing we call "failure" is not the falling down, but the staying\ndown.\n\n“Never allow someone to be your priority while allowing yourself to be their option”\n\n“Ordinary riches can be stolen, real riches cannot. In your soul are infinitely precious things that cannot be taken from you.”\n\n“We have no right to ask when a sorrow comes, 'Why did this happen to me?' unless we ask the same question for every joy that comes our way.”\n\n“They may forget what you said, but they will never forget how you made them feel.”\n \n“Above all, be true to yourself, and if you cannot put your heart in it, take yourself out of it.”\n\n“I can't change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination.”

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn’t serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do."- ME

As we’re liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."\n\nDont let anything hold you back :)

Courage.\n\nWe have to understand that it is a law of nature that for every action there is a reaction. Violence begets violence.\n\nWhile we might see chaos in the short term, we need to understand that we are doing harm and not good.\n\nWe need to be barve enough to understand we were wrong, we are not helping and admit it bravely and... pull out

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.  I think this is one of those situations that calls for a little serenity and wisdom.

In a godless universe, why would courage have any more value than enlightened self-interest?

Courage is one. The lady morphine addict and Atticus both know they are going to lose and give it their best anyway. That's one of the finest definitions of courage around.\n\nThere are other themes in the book.\n\nThere are other definitions of courage, too. In one of the early Harry Potter books a teacher tells Neville Longbottom that the thing he fears the most is in the cabinet at the front of the room. Neville rolls up his sleeves and steps forward.\n\nHemingway's "grace under pressure" never seemed like a good definition to me. I saw a marathon runner hurt so much he vomited, then kept going, striding awkwardly because of the cramp, with flecks of breakfast on his shoes. He wasn't graceful. He wasn't a quitter, either.

Dear Cowardly Lion, \nEveryone has courage, you just have to find it. Being shy is one thing, but you do not want to go through life regretting that you allowed your shyness to make the decisions in your life.  Be the king of the jungle and ask her, the worse thing she can say is No, OZ said that to us once and we managed to go on.  Believe me this will not be the last time in your life you will hear this.  Let go of your tail and go ask her.  If you can't do it in person,  call her, but go forward and take your rightful position as King of the Jungle. Good luck. Dorothy, Tin Man and \nScare-crow.

You are exactly right. Sometimes true courage is admitting that you were wrong.

I suggest doing what you want without the opinions or influences of other people getting in your way. "basically make up your own mind and be yourself". However in most cases sucides are more cowardly then courageous and i would not do it. But thats just my opinion. (somewhat of a brain twister huh?)
