Courage, the philosopher Aristotle taught us, is the most important of all the virtues, because without it we can__ practice any of the others. Courage is the nearest star that can guide our growth. Maya Angelou said we must be courageous about facing and exploring our personal histories. We must find the courage to care and to create internally, as well as externally, and as she said, we need the courage __o create ourselves daily as Christians, as Jews, as Muslims, as thinking, caring, laughing, loving human beings.
