He that loses wealth loses much: But he that loses courage loses all.

“I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten… .  And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the Lord your God, that has dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall never be ashamed.”  

---The Bible, Joel 2:25, 26--

To see a world in a grain of sand,

And heaven in a wild flower,

Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,

And eternity in an hour.

--William Blake--

He that loses wealth loses much:

But he that loses courage loses all.

--Cervantes—

One man with courage 
makes a majority.

--Andrew Jackson—

I’m a hell of a general when I’m winning, anybody is, but it’s when you’re not winning – and I have not always been winning … -- it is then that the real test of leadership is made.

--Field Marshal Sir William Slim--

I learned that good judgment comes from experience 

and that experience grows out of mistakes.  –Omar Bradley--
