Courage

Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak.
Courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.
~ Winston Churchill

I like this quote.  Sometimes people with the courage to talk don't have the courage to listen.  And vice versa.  I think it's important to remember, however, that sometimes people stand up to talk out of fear and some people sit in silence out of fear.  Which is one of the implied truths in what Churchill had to say, right?

So how do you know if the person sitting or standing is brave or fearful?  It's really quite easy because she is.
