An idea from Nicomachean Ethics

The brave person fears the right things, in the right way, for a fine reason. The angry, the drunk, the ignorant and the soldier who knows an alarm is empty only look brave. And the better a brave person’s life, the more it hurts to risk losing it.

From Nicomachean Ethics by Aristotle
