POSSESS MORAL COURAGE

Courage is that quality of mind which enables one to encounter dangers, trials and difficulties with firmness and without fear.
Valor, intrepidity and boldness are synonymous terms. They are positive attributes of the mind. These qualities are very necessary for material and spiritual progress. A coward dies many times before he actually leaves his physical body. Honesty and justice are linked with courage. There are people who can exhibit physical courage but have no moral character. Moral courage comes from within.
