Courage

"But he that dares not grasp the thorn
Should never crave the rose."

Anne Brontë, "The Narrow Way" 

"Here's a sigh to those who love me,
And a smile to those who hate;
And, whatever sky's above me,
here's a heart for every fate."

Lord Byron, "To Thomas Moore"

The above are from the frontispiece of Dean R. Koontz' Life Expectancy.
Sometimes profundity, or at least some inspiration, can be found in an unlikely place.
