About This Quote

No matter how long you train someone to be brave, you never know if they are or not until something real happens. is a statement that describes how we cannot know someone's true character until we see them in a dangerous situation. If we do not know what they are made of, we cannot know how they will respond to the pressure of the situation. For example, if you were training someone to be a doctor and found out they were scared of blood or needles, would you still think the person was fit to be a doctor? The answer is no, because fear can sometimes make people act with bravery when it would be safer not to.
