Bravery Quotes

It is both captivating and inspiring to watch individuals walk through seemingly impossible odds in order to achieve their goals and dreams. Often when we see such individuals in their element we make the erroneous assumption that they move and accomplish without fear. But I believe that the first quote by Ralph  Waldo Emerson explains that such a person is not without fear he or she just does not give into their fear as quickly as others. I hope these quotes on bravery encourage you to keep pressing past your comfort zone.
