Genius is talent set on fire by courage.
Faith is an adventure; it is the courage of the soul to face the unknown. But that courage springs from the hope and confidence of the soul that its adventure will succeed.
The brave man is intelligent; he faces danger because he understands it and is prepared to meet it. The drunkard who runs, in the delirium of intoxication, into a burning house is not brave; he is only stupid. But the clear-eyed hero who makes his way, with every sense alert and every nerve strung, into the hell of flames to rescue some little child, proves his courage.
Courage is the standing army of the soul which keeps it from conquest, pillage, and slavery.
The more keenly we are awake to the perils of life, the higher and grander is the possibility of being truly brave.
