More From Samuel Johnson

Countrymen, the task ahead is great indeed, and heavy is the responsibility; and yet it is a noble and glorious challenge - a challenge which calls for the courage to dream, the courage to believe, the courage to dare, the courage to do, the courage to envision, the courage to fight, the courage to work, the courage to achieve - to achieve the highest excellencies and the fullest greatness of man. dare we ask for more in life?
Dream Believe Responsibility
You need courage to be creative. you need the courage to see things differently, courage to go against the crowd, courage to take a different approach, courage to stand alone, if you have to, courage to choose activity over inactivity.
Courage Creativity Choices
In our blessed and mostly peaceful society we're not as familiar with courage as we once were. we ascribe the virtue to all manner of endeavors that only really require skill, fortitude and a little daring, the qualities pat tillman showed on the football field. pat's best service to his country was to remind us all what courage really looks like, and that the purpose of all good courage is love.
Football Country Blessed
It is true that so far as wealth gives time for ideal ends and exercise to ideal energies, wealth is better than poverty and ought to be chosen. but wealth does this in only a portion of the actual cases. elsewhere the desire to gain wealth and the fear to lose it are our chief breeders of cowardice and propagators of corruption. there must be thousands of conjunctures in which a wealth-bound man must be a slave, whilst a man for whom poverty has no terrors becomes a freeman.

Let us have the courage to defy the consensus, the courage to stand for principle. courage, not compromise, brings the smile of god’s approval. courage becomes a living and an attractive virtue when it is regarded not only as a willingness to die manfully, but also as a determination to live decently. a moral coward is one who is afraid to do what he thinks is right because others will disapprove or laugh. remember that all men have their fears, but those who face their fears with dignity have courage as well.
