About this Quote

This quote by Maya Angelou highlights the value of courage in our lives. Nerve is the foundation of all other virtues, and without it, we can not regularly practice any other virtue. Nerve is the ability to face our fears and take risks, even when we doubt of the result. It is the courage to defend what our company believe in, even when it is unpopular. Guts is also the strength to keep going even when we seem like quiting. Nerve is essential for us to be able to practice any other virtue consistently. Without guts, we can just practice virtues unpredictably, and not with any genuine consistency. Nerve is the essential to unlocking our capacity and accomplishing our objectives.
