Aristotle Quotes on Courage

6 quotes

  1. He who has overcome his fears will truly be free.

  2. Courage is the first of human qualities because it is the quality which guarantees the others.

  3. The more thou dost advance, the more thy feet pitfalls will meet. The Path that leadeth on is lighted by one fire- the light of daring burning in the heart. The more one dares, the more he shall obtain. The more he fears, the more that light shall pale- and that alone can guide.

  4. The wise man does not expose himself needlessly to danger, since there are few things for which he cares sufficiently; but he is willing, in great crises, to give even his life- knowing that under certain conditions it is not worthwhile to live.

  5. To run away from trouble is a form of cowardice and, while it is true that the suicide braves death, he does it not for some noble object but to escape some ill.

  6. You will never do anything in this world without courage. It is the greatest quality of the mind next to honor.
