About This Quote
There is no magic herb that makes a brave man. Courage is knowing that what you do is necessary. Don't doubt yourself, Shadow. There is more valor in your heart than you realize.
The idea of valor comes from the Latin word “valere” which means “to be brave” or “to be courageous”. This phrase has been used to market weapons and armour for centuries. It has become so common that the first meaning is usually the only one that gets used these days, but its real meaning lies in the second meaning, which is often forgotten.
