"The strangest, most generous, and proudest of all virtues is true courage"

- Michel de Montaigne

About this Quote

True nerve is a virtue that is both odd and generous. It is odd because it is not something that is quickly comprehended or seen in daily life. It is generous since it needs a person to put themselves in a vulnerable position in order to do what is right. It is also happy because it requires a person to have faith in themselves and their own abilities. Real guts is not something that can be taught or discovered, it is something that should be experienced and made. It is a virtue that is often overlooked, but it is among the most essential qualities a person can possess. True courage is the capability to defend what is right, even when it is challenging or unpopular. It is the guts to take risks and face difficulties, even when the odds protest you. It is the nerve to stand up for yourself and your beliefs, even when it is hard. True courage is a virtue that is both unusual and generous, and it is one of the most important qualities an individual can have.
