index on courage and appendix of miscellaneous thoughts
on courage (an index of quotes such as these might be considered "inspirational," meaning cliche and embarrassing, but i like them...and -- frankly -- i like feeling inspired. so shoot me already!! ...):
He who is brave is free. ~Seneca~
Courage is the price that Life exacts for granting peace. ~Amelia Earhart~
The fact is, that to do anything in the world worth doing, we must not stand back shivering and thinking of the cold and danger, but jump in and scramble through as well as we can. ~Robert Cushing~
You can't test courage cautiously. ~Annie Dillard~
The paradox of courage is that a man must be a little careless of his life in order to keep it. ~G. K. Chesterton~
Come to the edge,' he said. They said, 'We are afraid.' 'Come to the edge,' he said. They came. He pushed them... And they flew. ~Peter McWilliams~
it takes courage to grow up and become who you really are. ~e e cummings~
Every man has his own courage, and is betrayed because he seeks in himself the courage of other persons. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson~
Perfect courage means doing unwitnessed what we would be capable of with the world looking on. ~La Rochefoucauld~
"Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgment that something else is more important than fear." ~Ambrose Redmoon~
"Wait for the LORD; Be strong and let your heart take courage; Yes, wait for the LORD." ~Psalm 27:14~
on another note, i have found an apartment for this fall. it is less than a block away and on the same street as i currently live. (NOTE: it's unnerving to me how many things have worked out so easily and so well in my life: i have three jobs which i am whole-heartedly excited about and which pay more than sufficiently, an amazing network of friends and several surprising new friendships that have meant more than i can say, a new apartment just down the road... the only thing that could make my life more complete would be a chocolate shop just around the corner!!!) ...anyway, i'd like to take this time to explain my planned moving technique. it is simple. i must first wheel a few shopping carts from D&W to my current house (one block away). i will then fill them with my crap and push them down the middle of the street to my next house. to move my couch, i intend to use two shopping carts and place the couch across them horizontally. the person pushing the shopping cart on the left will wear a sign on her ass reading "WIDE" while the person on the right will don a sign reading "LOAD" on her ass.
