We hold in them our trampled convictions, our fears, suppressed acts of valor, disappointments, enmity, anguish, secrets, things we wish we should have done, things we wish we shouldn’t have, regret.And continue piling them up with emotions, memories, conversations which did happen and conversations which didn’t, soured relationships and bitter people all of which we should have discarded, we keep it within until there is no space left, until the room is full, occupied after which we go on to lock it. Once in a while we happen to open the room and sight the dust accumulated all over, we relive each moment, each memory and each emotion again and soon fall upon the realization as to how deeply the room is in need of cleaning and so we clean it.We clean it so that we can fill it once more, hold it, bear it, relish it, heal from it and then finally let it go.","author":"Chirag Tulsiani","tags":["bear","conversation","conviction","disappointments","dust","fear","heal","heart","hold","let-go","memories","realization","room","storeroom","trampled","valor"],"id":12703,"author_id":"Chirag+Tulsiani"},{"text":"Valor consists in the power of self-recovery, so that a man cannot have his flank turned, cannot be out-generalled, but put him where you will, he stands. This can only be by his preferring truth to his past apprehension of truth; and his alert acceptance of it, from whatever quarter; the intrepid conviction that his laws, his relations to society, his Christianity, his world may at any time be superseded and decease.","author":"Ralph Waldo Emerson","tags":["circles","courage","fortitude","strength","valor"],"id":16885,"author_id":"Ralph+Waldo+Emerson"},{"text":"Valor is strength, not of legs and arms, but of heart and soul; it consists not in the worth of our horse or our weapons, but in our own.","author":"Michel de Montaigne","tags":["materialism","strength","valor"],"id":66588,"author_id":"Michel+de+Montaigne"},{"text":"Deciding denial was the better part of valor, CK pretended nothing was out of the ordinary.","author":"Judy Teel","tags":["denial","pretend","valor"],"id":88615,"author_id":"Judy+Teel"},{"text":"Valor grows by daring, fear by holding back.","author":"Publilius Syrus","tags":["courage","back","valor "],"id":99554,"author_id":"Publilius+Syrus"},{"text":"Ancient politicians talked incessantly about morality and virtue; our politicians talk only about business and money. One will tell you that in a particular country a man is worth the sum he could be sold for in Algiers; another, by following this calculation, will find countries where a man is worth nothing, and others where he is worth less than nothing. They assess men like herds of livestock. According to them, a man has no value to the State apart from what he consumes in it. Thus one Sybarite would have been worth at least thirty Lacedaemonians. Would someone therefore hazard a guess which of these two republics, Sparta or Sybaris, was overthrown by a handful of peasants and which one made Asia tremble?","author":"Jean-Jacques Rousseau","tags":["courage","money","politicians","sparta","valor","virtue"],"id":132420,"author_id":"Jean-Jacques+Rousseau"},{"text":"What is courage without risk...
