Quote by Charles Caleb Colton

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.


Physical courage, which despises all danger, will make a man

Summary

This quote by Charles Caleb Colton emphasizes the distinction between physical courage and moral courage. Physical courage refers to the ability to face and overcome dangerous or physically demanding situations, whereas moral courage refers to the willingness to take a stand and act based on personal beliefs, even if it contradicts popular opinion or faces social judgment. Colton suggests that these two types of courage manifest in different ways and that a person can be brave in one aspect but not necessarily in the other.
