A team is where a boy can prove his courage on his own. A gang is where a coward goes to hide.

Each person has inside a basic decency and goodness. If he listens to it and acts on it, he is giving a great deal of what it is the world needs most. It is not complicated but it takes courage. It takes courage for a person to listen to his own goodness and act on it.

It is a blessed thing that in every age some one has had the individuality enough and courage enough to stand by his own convictions.

The opposite of courage in our society is not cowardice, it is conformity.

Perfect courage is to do without witnesses what one would be capable of doing with the world looking on.
