“Falsehood is cowardice, the truth courage.” — Hosea Ballou Quote

Falsehood is cowardice, the truth courage.

The oppression of any people for opinion's sake has rarely had any other effect than to fix those opinions deeper, and render them more important.

Education commences at the mother's knee, and every word spoken within hearsay of little children tends toward the formation of character.

It is easy to be beautiful; it is difficult to appear so.

Hatred is self-punishment.

I, with a deeper instinct, choose a man who compels my strength, who makes enormous demands on me, who does not doubt my courage or my toughness, who does not believe me naive or innocent, who has the courage to treat me like a woman.

Always be courageous and strong, and don't fear.

Clear thinking requires courage rather than intelligence.

Throughout the years, many Christian women have told me of their great respect for the bravery and courage evident in my work, perhaps even gesturing to their own Isis earrings or a Nile River Goddess pendants.

Of course fear does not automatically lead to courage. Injury does not necessarily lead to insight. Hardship will not automatically make us better. Pain can break us or make us wiser. Suffering can destroy us or make us stronger. Fear can cripple us, or it can make us more courageous. It is resilience that makes the difference.
