Small things matter.
What may look like a small act of courage is courage nevertheless. The important thing is to be willing to take a step forward.

True courage is always backed by compassion; there is nothing evil or malicious behind it. If there is any ill intention, you can be sure it is not real courage.

The essence of Buddhism is compassion.
We, too, need to have compassion but, being ordingay mortals, the reality is that it is quite difficult for us. Courage substitutes for compassion. I am speaking of the courage to save others from suffering, to improve ourselves, to do our human revolution. To practice Buddhism with courage translates into compassion. -- Josei Toda
