Only when we are no longer afraid do we begin to live.

Moral Courage
It is sometimes difficult to do the right thing, because others may

“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.”
- Atticus Fitch, To Kill a Mockingbird,

Physical and Moral Courage
Moral CourageI’ve learned about the
strongest courage in my eyes:
I’ve learned there are many different types of courage, and I have displayed only a few. Most people think of courage as being able to jump off cliffs. Experiences like those need physical courage. Moral courage is the ability to act correctly even in the face of discouragement, which to me seems like the more amazing of the two. Basically, moral courage is “doing the right thing.”
