「如果勇敢是一個不懂恐懼的特質，那麼我從來沒見過一個勇敢的人。所有的人都會害怕，且人愈聰明，他們就愈會害怕。勇敢的人，即便感到恐懼，也強迫自己繼續前進。」“If bravery is a quality which knows not fear, I have never seen a brave man. All men are frightened. The more intelligent they are, the more they are frightened. The courageous man is the man who forces himself, in spite of his fear, to carry on.”

“If bravery is a quality which knows not fear, I have never seen a brave man. All men are frightened. The more intelligent they are, the more they are frightened. The courageous man is the man who forces himself, in spite of his fear, to carry on.”
– George Patton, General
