"It is only where there is an exertion of fortitude in bearing up against the consciousness of peril, that true courage has place…There is an intelligent apprehension of danger; there is the natural instinct of self-love desiring to preserve its own well-being; but it is curbed and governed by the sense of duty, and desire for the approbation of God. This alone is true courage; true virtue; for it is rational, and its motive and moral and unselfish."

— Robert Lewis Dabney; True Courage: A Discourse Commemorative of Lieut. General Thomas J. Jackson (1863)
