L.j. SmithThat was courage, Keller thought. Not doing something without being afraid, but doing something even though you were afraid.
About This Quote
Henry David Thoreau said, “That was courage, Keller thought. Not doing something without being afraid, but doing something even though you were afraid.” We are not brave because we do not have the courage to do what we think is right for us, but rather because we are afraid to do that thing that may not be right for us. We put off the decision to act until it's too late to act. It's very easy to want to run away from our fears, but until we are able to face our fears, it will always be too late.
