COURAGE!

What is Courage?
Courage is when you stand-up for someone or something and it is when you try something new. For example, if your friends are doing something bad and if they say they will hit you if you tell, what should you do?Are they really your friends? Telling on them would be showing courage and would keep them from getting in real trouble.
YELLOW IS THE COLOR FOR COURAGE
NOVEMBER IS THE MONTH FOR COURAGE
"Courage is going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm."
Winston Churchill
Courage the Cartoon
Courage is a dog that gets scared really easily. So why is he named Courage, and why mention him? Well, I'll tell you, he always plucks himself up when he's needed.
For example, if his caretakers get in trouble with monsters, he always rescues them. He puts his fear behind him and he becomes brave. That is why he is named Courage and is in here.
Real Life Courage
These are some qoutes that famous people have said about courage and the country: George Washington, Teddy Roosevelt, and Martin Luther King Jr.
"As
Mankind becomes more liberal, they will be more apt to allow that all
those who conduct themselves as worthy members of the community are equally
entitled to the protections of civil government. I hope ever to see America
among the foremost nations of justice and liberality."
-George Washington
"It
is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong
man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have
done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena,
whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly,
who errs and comes short again and again, who knows the great enthusiasms,
the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause, who at best
knows achievement and who at the worst if he fails at least fails while
daring greatly so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid
souls who know neither victory nor defeat."
-Teddy Roosevelt
"If
you lose hope, somehow you lose the vitality that keeps life moving,
you lose that courage to be, that quality that helps you go on in spite
of it all. And so today I still have a dream".
-Martin Luther King, Jr.
