“In whatever areas of life or endeavor, one may meet the challenges of courage. Whatever may be the sacrifices, if one follows his/her conscious; the loss of friends, his/her fortune, his/her commitment, even the esteem of fellow men….Each person must decide for him/herself the course he/she will follow. The studies of past can define that ingredient, they can teach, they can offer hope, they can provide inspiration, but they cannot supply courage itself. For this, each person must look into their soul and take action thereon.” JFK

paraphrased by fsm from a quote by Caroline Kennedy, his daughter, in her book, “Profiles In Courage For Our Times.”
