Number of Quotes: 3
Courage is the most important of all the virtues, because without courage you can't practice any other
virtue consistently. You can practice any virtue erratically, but nothing consistently without courage.
People will forget what you said
Poeple will forget what you did
But people will never forget how you made them feel.
You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I'll rise.
Last on Earth
