An
act of heroism, of extraordinary courage,
the grandeur of it, won't easily inspire
us to act in imitation, but it can inspire
us to emulate its author. For that, we
should learn what we can of the whole
experience of the subject, the hero's
life, as it was before and after, and
believe that trying to emulate the character
it reveals is one tried way to prepare
for the tests that might await us and
gain hope that our courage will not be
wanting in the moment.

We are taught to understand, correctly,
that courage is not the absence of fear,
but the capacity for action despite our
fears.
