Moral Courage


Moral courage is a rarer commodity than bravery in battle or great intelligence. Yet it is the one essential, vital quality of those who seek to change a world which yields most painfully to change.

- Robert F. Kennedy, in a speech in Capetown, South Africa, June 6, 1966. Today is the 40th anniversary of his assassination. (Source: Wikiquote )

Thanks for the Bobby Kennedy quote on this great subject. I'm not sure where this one came from, but I remember hearing someone say, "Courage is not the absence of fear. Courage is doing the right thing even when one is afraid."
