Physical courage, which despises all danger, will make a man brave in one way; and moral courage, which despises all opinion, will make a man brave in another.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Physical bravery is an animal instinct; moral bravery is much higher and truer courage.
If we take the generally accepted definition of bravery as a quality which knows no fear, I have never seen a brave man. All men are frightened. The more intelligent they are, the more they are frightened.
I have reached the conclusion that those who have physical courage also have moral courage. Physical courage is a great test.
Courage is... the knowledge of how to fear what ought to be feared and how not to fear what ought not to be feared.
Courage is a mean with regard to fear and confidence.
The opposite of bravery is not cowardice but conformity.
Moral courage is higher and a rarer virtue than physical courage.
It is curious that physical courage should be so common in the world and moral courage so rare.
Being brave means to know something is scary, difficult, and dangerous, and doing it anyway, because the possibility of winning the fight is worth the chance of losing it.
Courage - a perfect sensibility of the measure of danger, and a mental willingness to endure it.
