"Courage, it would seem, is nothing less than the power to overcome danger, misfortune, fear, injustice, while continuing to affirm inwardly that life with all its sorrows is good; that everything is meaningful even if in a sense beyond our understanding; and that there is always tomorrow"

It means that not enough people think for themselves about how they feel about things. ("Courage", for example.)

It seems to add hope to courage, and I'm not so sure that courage is inclusive of hope at all. It takes quite of bit of courage to stay on a course that you know to be correct, for example, and that would not include hope... It takes quite a bit of courage to stand up for what's right, and that would not include hope. The meaning of this quote is not just about courage, but is a mixed message and has a step beyond include: hope... and the two are not always compatible. Courage in the face of no hope at all may be shear madness or it may be determination. Courage combined with false hope can be a similar madness based on lies. Courage alone is probably foolish but courage bolstered by nothing but hope is equally as foolish and it might even spill over into dangerous. This quote, for me, means: Watch your step - someone may be trying to lead you into a trap by spinning and redefining and modifying the facts. [][][] r u randy? [][][] .

The power to face, not necessarily overcome. Outcome is often a matter of chance. Courage only refers to the willingness to withstand the fear and go forward.

It means that courage is simply living life. It means that courage is in living, and not giving up...even when it hurts, even if its confusing.

ive never set it to that wording, but in a sense, thats how i live my life...life is one of those things that just keeps going. life is what we make of it...by itself, the meaning of life is nothing...life has no meaning, we, as people, give life our own meaning. with that in hand, you can make your life and life in general mean just abt anything...you can see a horrible situation and it's entirely your own choice as to how you let it affect you, and no matter what your decision is, life will go on.
