            Intrepidity, Gallantry, Valor. Courage is that
            firmness of spirit and swell of soul which meets
            danger without fear. Bravery is daring and impetuous
            courage, like that of one who has the reward
            continually in view, and displays his courage in
            daring acts. Fortitude has often been styled ``passive

            with a high and cheerful spirit. A man may show

            pursuits of life, as well as in war. Valor, bravery,
            and gallantry are displayed in the contest of arms.
            Valor belongs only to battle; bravery may be shown in
            single combat; gallantry may be manifested either in
            attack or defense; but in the latter case, the defense
            is usually turned into an attack.
