Courage charms us, because it indicates that a man loves an idea better than all things in the world, that he is thinking neither of his bed, nor his dinner, nor his money, but will venture all to put in act the invisible thought of his mind.
Ralph Waldo Emerson (1978). “The Journals and Miscellaneous Notebooks of Ralph Waldo Emerson: 1854-1861”, p.332, Harvard University Press
