Courage is a terribly important value. It means you don’t run away when things are tough. It means you don’t turn away from a friend when he or she is in trouble. It means standing up against the majority opinion... There’s a lot of people who won’t wear it on their sleeve, or display it through some heroic act. But courage is having the strength to do what’s honorable and decent.

George H. W. Bush

The search for God means having the courage to set out on a risky path, it means following our restless hearts.

Pope Francis

Fortitude. ... It means fixity of purpose. It means endurance. It means having the strength to live with what constrains you.

Loving the church also means having the courage to make difficult, trying choices, having ever before oneself the good of the church and not one's own.

Pope Benedict XVI

Our state has a balanced budget. We have to live within our means in the state of Wyoming. I was in the state senate. This country needs a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution. We need to live within our means.
