Asher Black (The Five Syndicates, #1)

by Parker S. Huntington

It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are. E. E. Cummings

Man cannot discover new oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore. André Gide

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

Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage. Lao Zi

Courage does not always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow." Mary Anne Radmacher

I also practically dry humped Asher on the dance floor in front of everyone, but I don’t want to think about that. It’s currently the Voldemort of my life right now, never to be named nor spoken about.

“If you’re going to be two-faced, at least make one of them pretty.”

Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts. Winston Churchill

Mistakes are always forgivable, if one has the courage to admit them. Bruce Lee

Fifth degree murder is when you make eye contact with Asher while he has an angry glare on his face, and you’re stunned to death by his hotness. It’s like getting petrified when making eye contact with the Basilisk in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, only Asher is gorgeous and came from a vagina rather than a chicken egg hatched under a toad. (Yes, we all know what you did, Herpo the Foul.)

We don’t develop courage by being happy every day. We develop it by surviving difficult times and challenging adversity. Barbara de Angelis

The opposite of courage in our society is not cowardice. It is conformity. Rollo May
