"Courage is not simply one of the virtues but the form of every virtue at the testing point, which means at the point of highest reality. A chastity or honesty, or mercy, which yields to danger will be chaste or honest or merciful only on conditions. Pilate was merciful till it became risky."
C.S. Lewis, The Screwtape Letters, Letter 29
Excellent, thought-provoking statement.
