• We must dare to think 'unthinkable' thoughts. We must learn to explore all the options and possibilities that confront us in a complex and rapidly changing world.

• The word courage comes from the same stem as the French word Coeur, meaning "heart."

Without courage other values wither away into mere facsimiles of virtue.
