Mean, Bravery, Excess
Aristotle, Terence Irwin (1996). “Aristotle: Introductory Readings”, p.218, Hackett Publishing

Aristotle
Men, Bravery, Clear

Bravery is a mean state concerned with things that inspire confidence and with things fearful ... and leading us to choose danger and to face it, either because to do so is noble, or because not to do so is base. But to court death as an escape from poverty, or from love, or from some grievous pain, is no proof of bravery, but rather of cowardice.

Aristotle
Pain, Mean, Bravery
Aristotle (1869). “The Nicomachean Ethics of Aristotle”, p.84
