About This Quote
Courage is often associated with aggression, but instead should be seen as a willingness to act from the heart. “The wise man who refuses to fight is a coward and the one who does not dare to fight is a fool” (Anon). Courage has nothing to do with aggression and everything to do with acting from the heart. It is about doing what you believe in and standing up for what you believe in.
