Courage vs. Fear

People with moral courage rarely get medals, but it is the best marker of true character and a virtue others can be proud of.

"Courage is not the absence of fear but the resistance of fear, the mastery of fear."
Mark Twain

"The enemy is not what we fear; it is fear itself. If our insecurities and anxieties cause us to lose confidence in the power of virtue, we will lose something very precious."
President Franklin D. Roosevelt
