About This Quote

Courage is not the absence of fear. Only fools have no fear. Rather, courage is the intellectual mastery of fear by understanding the true risks and opportunities of the situation and keeping those things in balance. It does not mean that we should be fearless. It does mean that we must understand what our fears are and even more importantly, how to eliminate them, or at least control them.
