E.L. KonigsburgIt takes more courage to disturb the neighborhood than it takes to disturb the universe. And the price is often higher.
About This Quote
In this quote, Albert Einstein was speaking about the challenge of being courageous. Courage isn’t something you have. It’s something you do. We all have the ability to be courageous, but we have to use it every day. When we don’t rise up to meet a challenge, we lose everything that defines us.
