Bravery comes when you commit to doing the work.
The bravery of the nonviolent is vastly superior to that of the violent.
Almost everything about a human creature is ridiculous, except its ability to suffer bravely and die gallantly for whatever it loves and believes in. The validity of that belief, the appropriateness of that love, is irrelevant; it is the bravery and the gallantry that count.
