Summary

This quote challenges the notion that honor is only achieved through bravery or risking one's life. It implies that honor is not solely dependent on the act or the outcome, but rather the way in which the act is carried out. It suggests that it is important to consider one's performance and conduct when pursuing honor, as these qualities shape the true essence of honor. Bravery and risking one's life may be commendable, but they alone cannot guarantee honor unless accompanied by a certain manner or approach.
