 COURAGE.

Mr. Macnaghten classifies courage as of two kinds, namely, physical courage and moral courage. He says physical courage means that "which enables us to meet bodily dangers and even death, without fear"; and moral courage means, he says, that "which enables us to say and do what we know to be right."

Hindus say that courage means patience of mind in fear, sorrow, pain, danger, and also in bearing the effects of the six emotions called the six internal enemies of man, viz., desire, anger, avarice, arrogance, delusion and envy.

PHYSICAL COURAGE.

We must not take acts of mere daring as those of courage. There must be some thought or principle in an act of courage.
