Quote by David Ben-Gurion

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... the knowledge of how to fear what ought to be

Summary

This quote suggests that courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the understanding and discernment of what should truly be feared and what should not. It emphasizes the importance of being able to distinguish between genuine threats and irrational fears, enabling one to confront and overcome that which poses a real danger, while not being paralyzed or consumed by unnecessary anxieties. True courage, therefore, lies in the wisdom to fear the right things and not allowing fear to control or hinder one's actions.
