There are always a few who stand up in times of communal madness and have the courage to say that what unites us is greater than what divides us.

September 11, 2001, revealed heroism in ordinary people who might have gone through their lives never called upon to demonstrate the extent of their courage.

Each of us has an inner dream that we can unfold if we will just have the courage to admit what it is. And the faith to trust our own admission. The admitting is often very difficult.

You must have love as the core it takes courage to be willing to constantly tell the truth to each other and risk letting the relationship go.

Courage is a peculiar kind of fear.
