About This Quote

Courage doesn’t defeat fear or erase fear or adjust to fear. Courage acts, plain and simple, in the midst of fear. This is a powerful quote because it tells us that courage is about acting instead of reacting. It is brave to speak out against injustice and support those who aren’t as fortunate as we are.

It is brave to stand up for what you believe in and fight for what you know is right. When courage acts in the midst of fear, it’s not just bravery that shows itself; it is the greater power of faith. Faith is not something that can be defeated or adjusted to or erased.

It’s just there and we must rely on it and let it affect our actions and choices.
