  Motivational Quotes on: Courage

• Say no to the drug of gradualness. It was Martin Luther King, Jr., who spoke out strongly against making slow changes. Either we risk or we don’t, he said. Either we change or we don’t.

The leap themselves can be small or large. Once we take action, we see things differently and for many of us there’s no going back.
