"Courage is rightly esteemed the first of human qualities...because it is the quality which guarantees all others.

--Winston Churchill, British Prime Minister

 

Courage is fear that has said its prayers.

--Karl Barth, Swiss Theologian

 

"You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to  look fear in the face.  You are able to say to yourself, ' I lived through this horror.  I can take the next thing that comes along.'  You must do the thing you think you can not do."

--Eleanor Roosevelt

How do we handle fear?  Do we embrace it?  Do we run away from it and hide in our comfort zone where we can't feel any fear at all?  How must we change to develop the spirit of courage that Churchill and Roosevelt speak of?  Any ideas?
