W 9 mm v ■ae? v? J Jk 4 IHL « -? . ■ Mi 1- - JR ii rsi “To be courageous, . . . requires no exceptional qualifications, no magic formula, no special combination of time, place and circum¬ stance. It is an opportunity that sooner or later is presented to us all. Politics merely furnishes one arena which imposes special tests of courage. In whatever arena of life one may meet the challenge of courage, whatever may be the sacrifices he faces if he follows his con¬ science — 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 in¬ gredient — they can teach, they can offer hope, they can provide in¬ spiration. But they cannot supply courage itself. For this each man must look into his own soul.” Profiles in Courage by John F. Kennedy Harper Brothers, Company Copyright 1960
