Summary

This quote suggests that true bravery or valor stems from an individual's ability to bounce back and recover from difficult or challenging situations on their own. It implies that being able to handle setbacks, overcome obstacles, and pick oneself up after a fall is what truly defines courageousness. In essence, valor is not just about facing adversity, but about having the inner strength and resilience to recover and move forward independently.
