The Meaning of Courage

“I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It’s when you know you’re licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what.”
Atticus Finch to his son Jem in To Kill a Mockingbird, by Harper Lee.

This definition of courage appeals to me more than any other, and has actually made me see some things clearly.
