Develop enough courage so that you can stand up for yourself and then stand up for somebody else.
Rainbow in the Cloud: The Wisdom and Spirit of Maya Angelou (2014)
Without courage we cannot practice any other virtue with consistency. We can't be kind, true, merciful, generous, or honest.
Without courage, you can't practice any other virtue consistently. You can practice any virtue erratically, but nothing consistently without courage.
You develop courage, the most important of all the virtues, because without courage, you can't practice any other virtue consistently.
We, unaccustomed to courage
exiles from delight
live coiled in shells of loneliness
until love leaves its high holy temple
and comes into our sight
to liberate us into life.
A Brave and Startling Truth (1995)
