Fools look to tomorrow; wise men use tonight.
- Scottish proverb

Courage is reckoned the greatest of all virtues; because, unless a man has that virtue, he has no security for preserving any other. ~Samuel Johnson

It is curious that physical courage should be so common in the world and moral courage so rare. ~Mark Twain

Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear - not absence of fear. Except a creature be part coward it is not a compliment to say it is brave. ~Mark Twain, Pudd'nhead Wilson's Calendar, 1894

Strength, justice, and the muses... -Yourcenar

Lethe ~ to forget the bitter, to finally understand...

Reading Purgatorio - last canto: the river is a means ordained by God to forget the bitter aspects of sin ~ and to remember instead the associated good that was brought about. AIM: Understand the broader plan or ultimately good of God in all things.
