	Courage - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Courage, also known as fortitude, is the ability to confront fear, pain, danger, uncertainty or intimidation.
		Courage is one of the Four Cardinal Virtues of the Catholic Church.
		Civil courage (sometimes also referred to as 'Social courage') is defined by many different standards, but the term is usually referred to when civilians stand up against something that is deemed unjust and evil, knowing that the consequences of their action might lead to their death, injury, or any other negative effect.

	President's Column February 2003 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Courage is not blind to dangers or difficulties; it is the capacity to persist in spite of fears, failures and suffering.
		But lasting courage requires more than just an inspirational pep talk, a "shot in the arm"; it needs to be part of our character and our general orientation towards life.
		It is an abiding attitude — Acts of great courage, such as a fireman risking his own life to save others from a burning building, or a mother throwing herself before an attacker to save her child's life, are not random acts.

	In Search of Courage
		We have attributed courage to all manner of actions that may indeed be admirable but hardly compare to the conscious self-sacrifice on behalf of something greater than one's own self-interest.
		If we lack the courage to hold on to our beliefs in the moment of their testing, not just when they accord with those of others but also when they go against threatening opposition, then they're superficial, vain things that add nothing to our self-respect or our society's respect for the virtues we profess.
		Courage is that rare moment of unity between conscience, fear, and action, when something deep within us strikes the flint of love, of honor, of duty, to make the spark that fires our resolve.

	E. Belfort Bax: Courage (1890)
		That it is not involved in the primary definition of courage is obvious, but on reflection the general conscience of mankind proclaims that the fullest expression of moral courage is reached when pain or fear is subordinated, not to the purpose of individual advantage, but to a purely disinterested end.
		There is the apparent courage of the man who is insensible to danger, not because he subordinates fear to purpose, but because he lacks imagination, or because his imagination is blunted in particular directions through custom, or because, maybe, he is ignorant of the danger threatening him.
		Courage and valorous deeds are the object of his lay, as they it is which strike the awakening consciousness of society most.

	Nieman Watchdog > Commentary > Fighting back against the PR presidency
		Courage in journalism today takes all the obvious, traditional forms -- reporting from a war zone or from a totalitarian country where a reporter's life or safety are issues.
		A new element of courage in journalism would be for editors and reporters to decide not to cover the President's statements when he -- or any public figure -- repeats essentially what he or she has said before.
		Journalistic courage should include the refusal to publish in a newspaper or carry on a TV or radio news show any statements made by the President or any other government official that are designed solely as a public relations tool, offering no new or valuable information to the public.

	Courage the Cowardly Dog - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Courage the Cowardly Dog is an American animated television series about a dog named Courage and his owners Muriel Bagg, a kindly old Scottish woman, and Eustace Bagg, a grumpy old farmer, living together in a farmhouse in the middle of the town of Nowhere, Kansas (often described as The Middle of Nowhere).
		In the series, when Courage wants to save his family, he sometimes faces off the villain in a game (instead of typical feats of strength, the methods by which he defeats villains is usually something mundane like dodgeball or a staring contest), convinces the villain to leave the life of crime, or tricks the villain.
		The opening of the show documents Courage's past: Abandoned as a puppy, Courage was living in a box until he was found by Muriel, who lives in the middle of Nowhere, Kansas with her husband Eustace.
