[16] "Moral Courage" is our phrase.

[17] The meaning of this passage can scarcely be conveyed except

by a paraphrase.

"The object of each separate act of working is that which accords

with the habit they go to form. Courage is the habit which

separate acts of bravery go to form, therefore the object of

these is that which accords with Courage, i.e. Courage itself.

But Courage is honourable (which implies that the end and object

of it is honour, since things are denominated according to their

end and object), therefore the object of each separate act of

bravery is honour."

[18] For true Courage is required, i. Exact appreciation of

danger. 2. A Proper motive for resisting fear. Each of the

Spurious kinds will be found to fail in one or other, or both.

[19] This may merely mean, "who give strict orders" not to

flinch, which would imply the necessity of compulsion The word is

capable of the sense given above, which seems more forcible.
