BRAVERY

 

          BRAVERY

‘Bravery’ is both a physical and moral trait. If you show the strength  to fight with your opponent or enemy physically, you display physical bravery. But if you fearlessly expose a dishonest man that he is dishonest and get him arrested legally, you express your moral courage.

Some synonyms of bravery are: courage, daring, fearlessness, fortitude, gallantry, grit, heroism, mettle, spirit, valour, boldness, audacity, guts, nerve, etc.

A brave person is one who is willing to do things which are difficult, dangerous and painful and is not afraid of the consequences.   

The phrase “Brave New World’ is used to refer, often ironically, to a new and hopeful period in history resulting from major changes in society.

In the famous classic of the English writer and philosopher Aldous Huxley (1894-1963)  Brave New World  (Pubished in 1932) “individuality is forbidden and the World State revolves around science and efficiency. In this new society emotions and individuality are conditioned out of children at a young age and there are no lasting relationships”

French General Francis de La Noue (1531-91) said: The bravery founded on hope of recompense, fear of punishment, , experience of success, on rage, or on ignorance of danger , is not common bravery, and does not deserve the name,--True bravery proposes a just end; measures the dangers, and meets the result with calmness and unyielding decision. “   

Finally, this famous quote: One man with courage makes majority.
