Quote by Mary Tyler Moore

You can't be brave if you've only had wonderful things happen to you.

Summary

This quote suggests that true bravery cannot be developed unless one has faced adversity or challenges in their life. It implies that experiencing only pleasant or positive events does not provide the opportunity to develop courage, resilience, or the ability to confront difficult situations. Bravery is born out of overcoming hardships and adversity, as those experiences test and strengthen one's character and capacity to face and overcome fear.
