“Courage is the most important of all virtues because without courage, you can’t practice any other virtue consistently. You can practice any virtue erratically, but nothing consistently without courage.”

• Maya Angelou

Without the bravery to act, virtues are mostly useless.

Wisdom is acquired through hard won experience but if it is not shared with others, how valuable is it really?

Honesty is the best policy but are we courageous enough to be honest when it is inconvenient or painful to do so?

Fortitude requires the courage to persevere when the going gets tough, which it inevitably will. 

Faith is one of the most important virtues in the world but what about when we've lost hope?

What about when we’re in the darkness?

Do we have the unwavering bravery to have faith then?

Courage is a muscle that strengthens through consistent use. 

If it is not used regularly, it atrophies.
