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.
Synonyms:
endurance, fortitude, heroism, resolution

How to use courage in a sentence?
Courage is the thing. All goes if courage goes.
Now the alternative to despair is courage. And human life can be viewed as a continuous struggle between these two options. Courage is the capacity to affirm one's life in spite of the elements which threaten it. The fact that courage usually predominates over despair in itself tells us something important about life. It tells you that the forces that affirm life are stronger than those that negate it.
I hope that current members of Congress recall that it actually doesn’t take a lot of courage to aid those who are already powerful … but it does require some courage to champion the vulnerable and the sick and the infirm and those who often have no access to the corridors of power, i hope they understand that courage means not simply doing what is politically expedient, but doing what they believe deep in their hearts is right.
What would be far better to see was the kind of courage that was demonstrated just a few weeks ago by President al-Sisi in Cairo, why don't we see the president of the United States demonstrating that same courage, just to speak the truth, about the face of evil we are facing right now?
It is curious that physical courage should be so common in the world and moral courage so rare.
