There's no shame in fear. But understand this - the coward is ruled by fear, while the hero rides it like a wild stallion.

Heroes are people who face down their fears. It is that simple. A child afraid of the dark who one day blows out the candle; a women terrified of the pain of childbirth who says, 'It is time to become a mother'. Heroism does not always live on the battlefield.

Hero's have scars and struggles as well, it's just that they have the courage to stand up against what is wrong because that makes them different.

Being terrified but going ahead and doing what must be done—that's courage. The one who feels no fear is a fool, and the one who lets fear rule him is a coward.

Scared is what you're feeling. Brave is what you're doing.

Bran thought about it. 'Can a man still be brave if he's afraid?'
'That is the only time a man can be brave,' his father told him.
