You cannot be truthful if you are not courageous. You cannot be loving if you are not courageous. You cannot be trusting if you are not courageous. You cannot inquire into reality if you are not courageous. Hence courage comes first and everything else follows.

Osho
About This Quote

Life is a life of courage. We all have fears, and we all have to fight our fears, but we can’t do that if we don’t have the courage. In other words, without the courage to be truthful, to be loving, to be trusting, and to be fearless, it is impossible to live a life of truthfulness. Without the courage to be truthful, it is impossible to grow in love.

Without the courage to be loving, it is impossible to grow in trust. Without the courage to be trusting, it is impossible to grow in reality.
