About This Quote

Courage is the first of human qualities because it is the quality which guarantees the others. : Courage is the first of human qualities because it is the quality which guarantees the others.A true person of courage does not hesitate to take charge of a difficult situation, even when it means taking a risk. In fact, courage may be a necessary step to take to ensure that a risk pays off. If a person does not have the courage to take that risk, then that person would never get anything done in life.

The same idea can be applied to everyday situations in life. Sometimes, people have to take risks in order to get what they want. They might have to do something that might make them feel uncomfortable or something their friends and family members might not approve of.

However, if one does not have the courage to make those kinds of decisions, then they will never succeed in life and will live a life full of regret and disappointment.
