I think ruler of the frogs has it the saying I've heard is 'Courage is not the abscence of fear but the belief that something is more important than fear'. Sam believed that the quest was more important. But I also think he was scared of what could happen if the ring wasn't destroyed. He decided to take the ring when he thought Frodo was dead, he knew that was more important his fear of whether this was the right thing to do. He was scared, but out of fear comes courage and bravery.
