- Samuel Johnson
About this Quote
This quote by Samuel Johnson talks to the significance of guts in life. Courage is the structure of all other virtues, as it is the guts to take action that allows us to utilize any of the other virtues. Without courage, we may never ever have the opportunity to utilize any of the other virtues, such as knowledge, justice, or temperance. Guts is the ability to face fear and do something about it in spite of it. It is the guts to defend what is right, to take risks, and to pursue our dreams. Courage is the virtue that permits us to overcome our fears and do something about it in the face of hardship. It is the nerve to stand up for what we believe in and to take dangers in order to accomplish our objectives. Courage is the virtue that enables us to live a life of function and significance. Without nerve, we might never ever have the chance to use any of the other virtues.
