"Courage is not simply one of the virtues, but the form of every virtue at the testing point."
C.S. Lewis
In order to be a global citizen you have to have faith, hope, persistence and courage. But at the root of all those virtues is courage. You have to have courage to have faith. You have to have courage to hope. You have to have courage to keep going even when things get hard. So to be a global citizen you need courage. If you don't have courage you don't have anything. Also, this quote says that when you have failed and fallen so many times that hope and faith seem impossible and when all you want to do is give up, it takes courage to keep going to stand up even if you are alone (I know that sounds really cliche but it's true). That is why this quote is so powerful is because it is true. People talk about determination, persistence, hope, faith and even courage but few people recognize how they are all connected and how at the root of everything is courage. You should have hope and determination but courage is is what you need to be strong. Courage is what you need to be a change maker. Courage is what you need to a global citizen.
You're right when everything needs courage to be possible! It's so true that courage can be more powerful than hope because you need that courage to hope for the best when you're standing alone. Great quote!
ReplyDeleteYou're right, you need courage in order to make anything possible. Even though hope, faith, and persistence courage is the most important because it will allow one to ac. I really enjoyed that quote.
