Integral '''courage''': whatever the domain, whatever the danger, the attitude remains the same—calm and assured.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/14/courage#p2</ref>'''Courage''' is a sign of the soul's nobility.http://incarnateword.in/cwm/14/courage#p3But '''courage''' must be calm and master of itself, generous and benevolent.http://incarnateword.in/cwm/14/courage#p4In true '''courage''' there is no impatience and no rashness.[<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/14/courage#p5 ~~http:~~</~~/incarnateword.in/cwm/14/courage#p5]~~ref>

And then there are two methods: either to put so intense a light, the light of a truth-consciousness so strong, that this will be dissolved; or else to catch the thing as with pincers, pull it out from its place and hold it up before one's consciousness. The first method is radical but one doesn't always have at his disposal this light of truth, so one can't always use it. The second method can be taken, but it hurts. And usually one is not very courageous. When it hurts very much, well, one tries to efface it like this (gesture) and that is why things persist. But if one has the courage to take hold of it and pull it until it comes out and to put it before himself, even if it hurts very much... to hold it up like this (gesture) until one can see it clearly, and then dissolve it, then it is finished. The thing will never again hide in the subconscient and will never again return to bother you. But this is a radical operation. It must be done like an operation.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/07/16-march-1955#p8</ref>

When we trust in the Divine's Grace we get an unfailing courage.http://incarnateword.in/cwm/14/trust-in-the-divine-grace-and-help#p12But true courage is courage with the full knowledge of the thing, that is, it knows all the possibilities and is ready to face everything without exception.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/07/26-january-1955#p41</ref>Our courage and endurance must be as great as our hope and our hope has no limits.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/14/enthusiasm-and-straightforwardness#p3</ref>

<div style="color:#000000;">Courage as a quality is such a power of being, it is a certain character of my consciousness expressing a formulated force of my being, bringing out or creating a definite kind of force of my nature in action. </div>

...courage—but really it is aspiration. They go together. A real aspiration is something full of courage.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/08/25-january-1956#p64</ref>

The lion indicates force and courage, strength and power. The lower vital is not lionlike.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/30/the-animal-world#p20</ref>

There are people who... I have known people who were physically very courageous, and were very, very cowardly morally, because men are made of different parts. Their physical being can be active and courageous and their moral being cowardly. I have known the opposite also: I have known people who were inwardly very courageous and externally they were terrible cowards. But these have at least the advantage of having an inner will, and even when they tremble they compel themselves.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/07/26-january-1955#p22</ref>

Of course, those animals—all animals—feel it if one is afraid, even if one doesn't show it. They feel it extraordinarily, with an instinct which human beings don't have. They feel that you are afraid, your body produces a vibration which arouses an extremely unpleasant sensation in them. If they are strong animals this makes them furious; if they are weak animals, this gives them a panic. But if you have no fear at all, you see, if you go with an absolute trustfulness, a great trust, if you go in a friendly way to them, you will see that they have no fear; they are not afraid, they do not fear you and don't detest you; also, they are very trusting.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/07/26-january-1955#p30</ref>
