“Courage is almost a contradiction in terms. It means a strong desire to live taking the form of readiness to die.”  – G.K. Chesterton
It takes courage for a soldier to risk life and limb for his country.

“We often take for granted the very things that most deserve our gratitude.”    – Cynthia Ozick
