Summary

This quote suggests that true courage is something that cannot be accurately measured or predicted until a person's final moments. It implies that one's courage may fluctuate throughout their lifetime, as various situations and challenges arise. Regardless of how brave someone may appear or perceive themselves to be, it is only by facing the ultimate test of death that one can truly know the extent of their courage. This highlights the unpredictable nature of human behavior, reminding us that bravery is a complex and ever-evolving trait that cannot be fully determined until the end of one's life.

You and I are told we must choose between a left or right, but I suggest there is no such thing as a left or right. There is only an up or down. Up to man's age-old dream -- the maximum of individual freedom consistent with order --or down to the ant heap of totalitarianism. Regardless of their sincerity, their humanitarian motives, those who would sacrifice freedom for security have embarked on this downward path.
