firmness of spirit and swell of soul which meets
danger without fear. Bravery is daring and impetuous

continually in view, and displays his courage in
daring acts. Fortitude has often been styled "passive
courage," and consist in the habit of encountering
danger and enduring pain with a steadfast and unbroken
spirit. Valor is courage exhibited in war, and can not
be applied to single combats; it is never used
figuratively. Intrepidity is firm, unshaken courage.
Gallantry is adventurous courage, which courts danger
with a high and cheerful spirit. A man may show
courage, fortitude, or intrepidity in the common
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.
