      I like that one!
      
      One of my favorite quotes is pretty similar. "Courage is not the absence of fear. It is acting in spite of it."

   If you want to be distressed -- look within.
   If you want to be defeated -- look back.
   If you want to be distracted -- look around.
   If you want to be dismayed -- look ahead.
   If you want to be delivered -- look up!
   by John Maxwell

   This is another favourite of mine:
   
   When the Nazis came for the communists,
   I remained silent;
   I was not a communist.
   
   When they locked up the social democrats,
   I remained silent;
   I was not a social democrat.
   
   When they came for the trade unionists,
   I did not speak out;
   I was not a trade unionist.
   
   When they came for the Jews,
   I remained silent;
   I was not a Jew.
   
   When they came for me,
   there was no one left to speak out.
