Ralph Waldo Emerson – Steve McCurry Curated

“Wherever we are, it is our friends
that make our world.”
– Henry Drummond

“Sometimes being a friend means mastering the art of timing. There is a time for silence. A time to let go and allow people to hurl themselves into their own destiny, and a time to prepare to pick up the pieces when it’s all over.”
– Gloria Naylor

“True friendship is a plant of slow growth, and must
undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity,
before it is entitled to the appellation.”
– George Washington

“What is a friend?
A single soul dwelling in two bodies.”
– Aristotle

“Hold a true friend with both your hands.”
– Nigerian Proverb

“ We cannot tell the precise moment when friendship is formed.
As in filling a vessel drop by drop, there is at
last a drop which makes it run over;
so in a series of kindnesses there is at last one
which makes the heart run over.”
– Samuel Johnson

“Friendship is a slow-ripening fruit.”
– Aristotle

“Faithful friends are hard to find.”
– William Shakespeare

“The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand,
not the kindly smile, nor the joy of companionship.
It is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when you discover that someone else believes in you and is willing to trust you with a friendship.”
– Ralph Waldo Emerson

Courage

“I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it.
The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.”
– Nelson Mandela

“Real courage is when you know you’re licked before you begin,
but you begin anyway and see it through no matter what.”
Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird

“Have courage for the great sorrows of life and patience for the small ones;
and when you have laboriously accomplished your daily task, go to sleep in peace.
God is awake.”
– Victor Hugo

“All happiness depends on courage and work.”
– Honoré de Balzac

“Courage is found in unlikely places.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien

“Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear – not absence of fear.”
– Mark Twain

“You do not need to know precisely what is happening, or exactly where it is all going.
What you need is to recognize the possibilities and
challenges offered by the present moment, and to
embrace them with courage, faith and hope.”
– Thomas Merton

“Bran thought about it. ‘Can a man still be brave if he’s afraid?’
‘That is the only time a man can be brave,’ his father told him.”
― George R.R. Martin, A Game of Thrones

“Courage is the most important of all the virtues because without courage,
you can’t practice any other virtue consistently.”
― Maya Angelou

“Courage is not the absence of fear; it is the conquest of it.”
– William Danforth

“Courage is not having the strength to go on;
it is going on when you don’t have the strength.”
– Theodore Roosevelt

“Success is not final, failure is not fatal:
it is the courage to continue that counts.”
― Winston S. Churchill

“What would life be if we had no courage to attempt anything?”
– Vincent van Gogh

“Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one’s courage.”
― Anaïs Nin

“Whatever you do, you need courage. Whatever course you decide upon,
there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong. There are always
difficulties arising that tempt you to believe your critics are right.
To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires some of the
same courage that a soldier needs.
Peace has its victories, but it takes brave men and women to win them.”
– Ralph Waldo Emerson
