• I had always imagined Rosa Parks as a stately woman with a bold temperament, someone who could easily stand up to a busload of glowering passengers. But when she died in 2005 at the age of ninety-two, the flood of obituaries recalled her as soft-spoken, sweet, and small in stature. They said she was "timid and shy" but had "the courage of a lion." They were full of phrases like "radical humility" and "quiet fortitude.

• Si alguna de las dos personas no está comprometida al 100% a escalar todas las montañas que se le pongan por delante para que su relación funcione, entonces no está preparada para entrar en ella. Esa es una de las razones por las que la tasa de divorcios es tan alta. Las personas están entrando en el compromiso que están haciendo sin tener la fuerza de carácter, fortaleza y determinación para mantener las promesas que están haciendo el uno al otro y también a Dios. A Dios le importa MUCHO que mantengamos nuestras promesas matrimoniales -Él entra en el matrimonio contigo cuando te casas, así que tus promesas no son sólo el uno para el otro, sino también para Él.

• Dios sabe que una madre necesita fortaleza y valor y tolerancia y flexibilidad y paciencia y firmeza y casi cualquier otro aspecto valiente del alma humana. Pero como resulta que soy una madre de naturaleza casi ferozmente maternal, alabo la despreocupación. Me parece la más rara de las virtudes. Es bastante útil cuando los niños son pequeños. Es útil hasta el punto de la necesidad cuando son adolescentes.

• La virtud no es otra cosa que un acto de amar lo que ha de ser amado, y ese acto es la prudencia, de donde no dejarse remover por la coacción es la fortaleza; no dejarse seducir por las seducciones es la templanza; no dejarse desviar por el orgullo es la justicia.

• To seek the greatest good is to live well, and to live well is nothing other than to love God with the whole heart, the whole soul, and the whole mind: It is therefore obvious that this love must be kept whole and uncorrupt, that is temperance; it should not be overcome with difficulties, that is fortitude, it must not be subservient to anything else, that is justice; it must discriminate among things so as not to be deceived by falsity or fraud, that is prudence.

  Saint Augustine

• What did Nabokov and Joyce have in common, apart from the poor teeth and the great prose? Exile, and decades of near pauperism. A compulsive tendency to overtip. An uxoriousness that their wives deservedly inspired. More than that, they both lived their lives 'beautifully'--not in any Jamesian sense (where, besides, ferocious solvency would have been a prerequisite), but in the droll fortitude of their perseverance. They got the work done, with style.

• Who's willing to face the unknown- the difficulties, the disappointments, the surprises of the unfamiliar. If you're going to change, you have to face those things, and who's able? Who has the skillful means, the knowhow, the perseverance, the help, the fortitude to keep going?

• Souls were the same. They, too, had useless baggage that impeded their proper performance, these annoying, holier-than-thou bits dangling like an appendix waiting for infection. Faith and hope and love...prudence, temperance, justice, and fortitude...all this useless clutter just packed too much damn morality into the heart, getting in the way of the soul's innate desire for malignancy.

• Quiero recordarte que el éxito en la vida se basa en un duro esfuerzo. Habrá periodos en los que el desánimo sea grande y molesto, y el antídoto para ello es la calma y la fortaleza y una modesta pero firme creencia en tu competencia. Asegúrate de que tus prioridades están en orden para poder proceder de forma lógica, y ten siempre presente que nada sustituirá a la perseverancia.

• To be honest, to be kind-to earn a little and to spend a little less, to make upon the whole a family happier for his presence, to renounce when that shall be necessary and not be embittered, to keep a few friends but these without capitulation-above all, on the same grim condition to keep friends with himself-here is a task for all that a man has of fortitude and delicacy.

• I admire about Hillary: Every time I am going to walk away from her candidacy, I think, she has absorbed more hate than anyone I can think of over the past twenty years, and she hasn't cracked under it. That's a kind of iron fortitude that maybe we need in the President of the United States. People project on to Hillary because she is a woman. They either hate her for everything they hate about women or they long for her to be everything they want in a woman. It's an impossible burden.

• It is said that courage isn’t the absence of fear but the fortitude to confront fear. And as long as homophobia continues to be an accepted element of the locker room culture and homophobic language a coach’s motivational tool, we can never dismiss the courage it takes for an athlete-on any level-to be openly gay. Bobby Blair may not be a household name, but his journey-from frightened collegiate athlete to empowered advocate-is one that has an important lesson for anyone who believes in the unifying power of sports.
