Remain steadfast when you are afraid.
Courage is the cardinal virtue that fortifies one’s desire to overcome obstacles and to continue in the pursuit of difficult goods, even in the face of grave dangers. Through the habit of courage, reason governs the passions of fear and daring, ensuring that one neither fails to strive for what is good through cowardice nor enters into unnecessary dangers through recklessness. Taken in its most general sense, courage refers to that vigor of spirit or firmness of character which is a necessary condition for all other virtues.
Courage isn't a brilliant dash, A daring deed in a moment's flash...
Half a league, half a league, Half a league onward...
Not in the thick of the fight, Not in the press of the odds, Do the heroes come to their height...
