Actually, there's no evidence that he did say it, despite many attributions that can be found on the internet. (Similar attributions can be found to Andrew Jackson, based on a claim made by Robert Kennedy, but again I can't find that quote in any of Jackson's writings, either.)

Who is the poet and what is the name of the poem that says Courage i said and took you by the hand is one white flower in a fire swept land?

The poem is Courage by Helen Frazee Bower You asked me, "What is courage?" And I took The dictionary down and spelled it out. For such a little boy, the heavy book Was ponderous. You twisted it about; You said, "It's being brave-and what is that?" You said, "It's not to fear - am I afraid? Does courage arch its back up like a cat, And spit at everything it meets?" you said. Perplexed, we closed the book and took a walk, And came where fire had worked untimely death; The woods were gone. But on a slender stalk A flower inched for life. I caught my breath. "Courage," I said and took you by the hand, "Is one white flower in a fire-swept land."
