The greatest courage is to love, to reach beyond the self openly, to expand the very idea of self until it is too large to be named. All other courage is false courage. All else is hiding, a desire for protection.

About This Quote

The ability to love is one of the greatest of all human attributes. It is also the most powerful and the most courageous. With that said, it helps to know that everything we do has a purpose. Our intentions can never be wrong and we will find success if we live our lives with the right intentions.

When our actions are for the good of others, we gain respect from those around us and feel a sense of accomplishment knowing that we have done something positive for people. It’s a good feeling knowing that you have made a difference in someone else’s life.
