Courage Quotes

The strength to take risks, to move from failure to success, to conquer the inner fear or to pick up one-self each time after falling repeatedly, requires a very important ability and that is courage. Success always eludes those who do not possess the courage to move forward. Courage is extremely necessary to face the trials and tribulations of life so that one doesn’t lead a broken life. In fact, courage serves as the ultimate motivation for life. If you are looking to boost your courage then get inspired from the courage quotes given below.
