Mark Stevens: A Profile in Courage

In whatever arena of life one may meet the challenge of his conscience -- the loss of his friends, his fortune, his contentment, even the esteem of his fellow men -- each man must decide for himself the course he will follow. The stories of past courage can define that ingredient -- they can teach, they can offer hope, they can provide inspiration. But they cannot supply courage itself. For this each man must look into his own soul.
-- John F. Kennedy in Profiles in Courage
