But I now know that I have a reserve of courage to draw upon when I really need it. There’s nothing that I’m too scared to have a go at.”– Emily Mortimer “God grant me the courage not to give up what I think is right even though I think it is hopeless.”– Chester W. Nimitz “Courage, not compromise, brings the smile of God’s approval.”– Thomas S. Monson
