Summary

This quote emphasizes that true courage is not the absence of fear but rather the determination to act bravely in pursuit of a righteous cause.

This definition challenges the notion that courage equates to fearlessness, and instead highlights the moral aspect of courage, where individuals must make conscious decisions to stand for what they believe in, regardless of their fears.
