M. Scott Peck – The Road Less Traveled (page 131)


This idea just keeps coming up. First in Too Kill A Mocking Bird here.

Then the other day on a John Wayne poster:

John Wayne

Then in The Road Less Traveled today:

Courage is not the absence of fear; it is the making of action in spite of fear, the moving out against the resistance engendered by fear into the unknown and into the future.

I wanted you to see something about her—I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It’s when you know you’re licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what. You rarely win, but sometimes you do.
