Courage is the most important of all the virtues, because if you don’t have courage you cannot practice any of the other virtues with consistency. You can’t be consistently fair or kind or generous or honest or giving or loving without courage. I wish I had written that first. Actually, it was Aristotle who said it, but never mind. — Maya Angelou, commencement address, 1987 |
