true courage is not indifference to fear
true courage is not knowing no fear
true courage is not mastery of fear
true courage is not berserker rage trance like fury
true courage is feeling fear being intensely afraid
then summoning the will to do what needs to be done
mindless courage is not courage but often invoked rage
Terence G. Craddock (afterglows echoes of starlight)
