To brim with hope, to cultivate just one small kernel of faith, to sport a touch of confidence, and to have one’s innate material embedded with layers of feisty are all that makes for the plucky kind of courage that means anything in the end.

About This Quote

Mr. Nelson Mandela said that, “To brim with hope, to cultivate just one small kernel of faith, to sport a touch of confidence, and to have one’s innate material embedded with layers of feisty are all that makes for the plucky kind of courage that means anything in the end.” Feisty courage is a type of bravery that comes from having a little bit of faith in oneself and believing in the goodness inside people.
