Is Faith another word for Courage?



Love the idea encapsulated in this image. Read this today:

     "Courage is the commitment to begin without any guarantee of success." -Goethe

I think that one could substitute faith for courage in these quotes and be on safe ground. What do you think? Is faith another word for courage?

    I would say faith is one of the chief sources of courage. I am convinced it should be the main source for the Christian. But you can get courage from other sources, pride, complacency or a general sense of duty. But I think it is the best source.

      Thanks Mike! I think that love can be a source of courage too.

    I agree that faith is a primary source of courage. I also think that while we may have faith that God will do the right thing in and for us, the courage comes in the willingness to go through whatever comes on the way to the right thing.

    God has not given us a spirit of fear!

      Good thought Ma! I think that both courage and faith are both forces that can subdue fear in our lives.
