Courage is grace under pressure
Share
This powerful quote by Ernest Hemingway has stood the test of time:
“Courage is grace under pressure.”
It wasn’t taken from one of his novels, but from an interview — and yet, it reflects the core of Hemingway’s philosophy: true courage is quiet, composed, and resilient. It’s about enduring life’s challenges without losing your dignity.
His characters often embody this very spirit — from the war-scarred lovers in A Farewell to Arms to the old fisherman in The Old Man and the Sea who battles nature with nothing but quiet resolve.
