bravery, n.All

Bravery is a self-fulfilling prophesy of sorts. To believe yourself brave is to be brave. It is the one only essential thing.

Bravery is often just vanity and shame.

Bravery is afraid without quick legs.

Bravery is relative. It always stands upon comparisons.

Bravery is performing without witness what one might be capable of doing before all the world.

Bravery is knowledge of the cowardice of the enemy.

Bravery is not always derived from a principle of valor, just as chastity in women is not always derived from a principle of modesty.

Bravery is a natural quality of few men, but good discipline and experience make many so.
