Some people think that courage is the ablility to face danger without fear, they are wrong. Courage is the ability to face danger IN SPITE of fear. Courage is not something you are born with, it is something that is grown through experience. Just as a flower cannot grow without sunlight, your courage cannot grow without experiences to test and temper it.

I agree with Eddie because to have courage is to do something, even though you are afraid of what will happen. The people who stood up to the Nazis, like the Brittain Soldiers, knew that it was dangerous to fight against the Nazis (during WW2), but they did it anyway to protect the people the Nazis were hurting, and to protect their nation (Brittain), same with the resistance movement groups. They knew the consequences of what they were doing, but they did it anyway, with courage, because they knew it was the right thing to do.

Courage is the ability to do things that are scary or cause you to fear them. It is not being fearless through things, and that as not near as impressisve as facing your fears.

I agree with Eddie. Courage is being able to stand up to something even though you have a fear of it. You cannot face your fears without courage. During WW2, it took people great courage to stand up against the Nazis, to hide and protect the Jews or to fight for their freedom.

Courage involves being brave and having a good conscience. Being brave is one thing, but being brave for the right thing, even though it's not popular, is something else.

Courage is about doing what is right and not thinking twice about it. It is all about being brave, and you have to be brave in live, that is just how it is. Even if you are scared or if you are in a scary situation.

Courage is the bravery that is welled up inside you. Whether you have it or not?? That's up to you. Courage gives you the power to make your life full of excitement and joy and whatever you use your courage for. It can get you to do things that you never thought you would ever do. Like me, I finally got the courage to stand up to a bully that had been pestering me for years.

Courage is bravery that you have when you are doing something with fear in you. If you have courage then you can do anything that is either scary or unpopular. When you have that, you are a good, brave person in life and that is what you need.

Courage is a very encompassing subject. It can mean a variety things, from standing up to fear to doing what is right, no matter the consequences, but without courage, chaos and evil would rule, as no one would stand up to it.

Courage is when you are scared of something but you brave through it despite that you are scared of it. It does not mean that you are not scared of something or that you are not afraid to do something.

Courage is something that is a very good thing to have because if someone is being treated unfairly, if you have enough courage to stand up for that person and protect them you are a very good person because you are helping God and that person; because you helped that person you could have saved them from going into a bad state but because you were courageous you helped everyone to become another person.

Many people think that courage is doing something because you are brave and are not afraid. But this is not the case. I believe that courage is the ability to do something that you are afraid to do, but do it because it is the right thing to do. Many people think that courage is doing something because you are brave and are not afraid. Many people during the Holocaust told people how wrong it was and many realized that what they were doing was bad.

Courage is the ability to venture on risky undertakings, despite the threat of fear. It is the sheer determination to plunge into an uknown world, where every turn is unexpected and dark. Despite the fear in your gut, you continue on. Without courage, you can't act out your own ambitions. You won't be able to defend your beliefs, protect your treasures. Courage is when every sign tells you to turn away, but you go on, because you know its the right thing to do. Even when fear and death hang over their head, a courageous person picks up their load and continues on the less-travelled path.

Courage, many people believe that courage is doing something without being scared and frightened, but that is not true. Courage is the ability to do something even though you are scared, frightened, and know the consequences of your actions depend on what happens. People are not born with courage, it happens through experiences, and the more experiences you have, the more courage you will have, or at least that is what I believe. Ha, like people say, "No pain, no gain".
