Don't backdown

"I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It's when you know you're licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what. You rarely win, but sometimes you do."
  ~ Atticus revealing to Jem why he made him go read to Mrs. Dubose every afternoon for a month

These are words of wisdom since it teaches us that courage is not someone holding a gun, or using force. Anyone can do that. Courage is when you can do something you sought out to do, even though you know you will not win it or succeed.Sometimes you'll win, the majority of the time you won't. However, only true couragous people can do this.
