Courage isn't absenct of fear, it is the awareness that something else is important

Stephen R. Covey
About This Quote

When it comes to courage, we all know that there is a big difference between courage and rashness.

Sometimes those decisions make them look foolish, but they know that something else is important and worth more than avoiding fear.
