English Synonyms and Antonyms
courage
Fortitude (Latin fortis, strong) is the strength or firmness of mind or soul to endure pain or adversity patiently and determinedly. Fortitude has been defined as "passive courage," which is a good definition, but not complete. Fortitude might be termed "still courage," or "enduring courage;" it is that quality which is able not merely to endure pain or trial, but steadily to confront dangers that can not be actively opposed, or against which one has no adequate defense; it takes courage to charge a battery, fortitude to stand still under an enemy's fire. Resolution is of the mind; endurance is partly physical; it requires resolution to resist temptation, endurance to resist hunger and cold. Compare BRAVE; PATIENCE.

endurance, fortitude, heroism, resolution

How to use courage in a sentence?
Seven anonymous NCOs describe events and attitudes that I'd like to know more about in order to fix it, the allegations in the article are serious and I firmly believe in the chain of command ; since these NCOs feel their immediate leaders have failed them, I ask that these sergeants — and anyone else — use their personal courage.
The hardest job for a politician today is to have the courage to be a moderate. It's easy to take an extreme position.
We are here to add to the sum of human goodness. To prove the thing exists. And however futile each individual act of courage or generosity, self-sacrifice or grace-it still proves the thing exists. Each act adds to the fund. It needs replenishment. Not only because evil flourishes, and is, most indefensibly, defended. But because goodness is no longer a respectable aim in life. The hound of hell, envy, has driven it from the house.
Love is the highest form of courage.
