This is a photo of my little girl, Ella as she goes through the motions of learning how to ride a bike . Faced with her fears, she rests in the thought that Dad is there to help her. And with that thought she gets her strength and her confidence. Here's to her dad and all the dads who take the time to be one!

Baby

We found this beautiful girl abandoned with a crushed leg she had suffered with for 4 weeks. Through it all, she was loving and trusting. Her courage brought her through. She's now in a forever home. Courage brings reward.

Quotes
Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising, which tempt you to believe that your critics are right. To Map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires courage.
Ralph Waldo Emerson Philosopher, Poet, Author, Essayist   (1803-1882);
Courage is about doing what you're afraid to do. There can be no courage unless you're scared.
Eddie Rickenbacker Medal Of Honor Recipient  (1890-1973);
There's much to be said for challenging fate instead of ducking behind it.
Diana Trilling Literary Critic, Author  (1905-1996);
Courage is not simply one of the virtues, but the form of every virtue at its testing point.
C.S. Lewis Writer, Theologian, Scholar  (1898-1963);

Words I live by from Amelia Earhart - Courage is the price that life exacts for granting peace. The soul that knows it not, knows no relief from little things, knows not the livid loneliness of fear, nor mountain heights where bitter joy can hear the sound of wings. When did you last feel joy?

Deb H 5 months ago from Pittsburgh
Courage is finding the strength to set aside your own fears, sorrows and disappointments, because there are others who's fears, sorrows and disappointments need your loving attention.

Jonathan E. Martinez Reyes 6 months ago from Pheonix, Arizona
Being in the U.S. Army it takes courage to go out and be willing to take a life in order to save your own life and others lives but the true courage is in walking up to the enimies and making peace with them.

Annie 7 months ago from Hampton Bays, NY
Courage is getting up out of bed everyday, going to work to provide for your family, doing whatever you can to find some happiness for yourself and the ones you love, trying to get some sleep at night and then doing that all over again tomorrow.

ORJI AUGUSTINE NKEMJIKA 7 months ago from NIGERIA
Courage is having the will power to do incredible things despite the terms and condition, provided it is the right thing to do from the heart.

jonathan 8 months ago from Spring, Texas
Courage is reaching deep down inside yourself and facing your fears, so that when your fears rear their face, you know how to engage them. When I was involved in an accident in an ambulance in 2006, I thought I would never set foot on an ambulance again, Now, in 2011, i work for a service based in the Texas Med. Center, I am a firefighter and First responder for my Fire dept. Courage is gained as we battle. Courage is not something you are just given...you face the things you fear and you gain courage...so that you can beat down your enemy every time after that...

I think Courage is standing up for what you believe is right. Being your own person and not caring what others may think of you.

Mrs. Farr and Mrs. Carter's Grade 5 Class 8 months ago from Barrie, Ontario
Courage is believing in yourself. Courage is being yourself. Courage is standing up for yourself and others. Courage is standing up for what you believe in. Courage is trying something new and persevering despite your fears.

Mr. Farr's Grade 4 Class 8 months ago from Barrie, ON, Canada
Courage is like Bethany Hamilton because she never gave up and stayed on the board. Courage is when you go out of your comfort zone and do something new or rise above challenges. Courage is to keep trying and never give up. Courage is never giving up even when you face your fears. Courage is having the nerve to do something new.

Logan 9 months ago from Kent, Washington
Courage is standing to challenge the same force that many would turn tail and run from. Courage is having the willingness to risk something of yours for somthing of someone else.
21
Sam B 10 months ago from USA
Courage is rushing in where others run out. It's when one can stand up where others hide behind them. Courage is being a voice for someone who has none. Courage is not fighting fire with fire, but being able to run up there and stamp out the flames. Courage is shutting up whatever your gut says and doing what your heart is screaming to do.
22
Monica about 1 year ago from Asia
Courage is when you know you've got everything to lose, but you go ahead and do what your heart tells you anyway, because you know it's the right thing to do.
23
Erika S. about 1 year ago from CA
Courage is following your heart!
24
Brandon Ellis about 1 year ago from Kenai, Alaska
Courage is when your heart tells you to do something but your mind and knowledge of something keeps you from doing it. Anyway sometimes we have to overcome our fears, and build the courage it takes to do what we fear regardless of what the outcome might be. Having courage can do remarkable things and take you places you’ve never imagined.
25
Mark J. over 1 year ago from Texas
Courage is doing the right thing for the right reason, even when everyone else thinks you're wrong.

Courage is making a commitment when a decision is necessary even without complete knowledge of the probable outcome.

Kayla H over 1 year ago from USA
Courage is when everything in your body tells you not to do it, but your heart says otherwise.

Lorrie T. almost 2 years ago from Elyria, OH
