About This Quote
A man of courage must first conquer himself. In order to be a hero, you have to be brave enough to overcome your own fears. Courage is the ability to face your fears no matter what. The belief that you can never be brave enough for something may cause you to shy away from a challenge.
On the other hand, a courageous man is one who will face his fears and conquer them. You can never let doubts or fears stop you from being the best version of yourself because only after conquering those fears will you truly be happy.
