You can gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing which you think you cannot do. Reach high, for stars lie hidden in your soul. Dream deep, for every dream precedes the goal. You may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing we call failure is not the falling down, but the staying down.
Courage is very important.
Like a muscle, it is strengthened by use. If you don't quit, and don't cheat, and don't run home when trouble arrives, you can only win. Shelley Long 63. When a woman falls in love with the magnificent possibilities within herself, the forces that would limit those possibilities hold less and less sway over her. Marianne Williamson 64.
