Quotes
“Courage is the price that life exacts for granting peace. The soul that knows it not knows no release from little things.”
Paladin
‘Courage is the price that
Life exacts for granting peace
The soul that knows it not
Knows no release from little things:
Knows not the livid loneliness of fear,
Nor mountain heights where bitter joy can hear the sound of wings.
How can life grant us boon of living, compensate
For dull gray ugliness and pregnant hate
Unless we dare
The soul’s dominion?
Each time we make a choice,
we pay with courage to behold the restless day,
and count it fair.
Amelia Earhart, “Courage”
