"To see courage embodied like this, it will look something like [[Stefan Zweig]]’s picture of [[Ferdinand Magellan|Magellan]] the explorer whose courage was unquestionable: "It is necessary here to insist once more that in [[Ferdinand Magellan|Magellan]] audacity, boldness, invariably assumed a peculiar complexion. **To act boldly did not, in his case, mean to act on the heat of impulse, but to lay his plans craftily, to do the dangerous thing with the utmost caution and after more careful consideration**. His most venturesome schemes were, like good steel, forged in fire and then hardened in ice." --- **Tags** -- [[quotes]], [[making-decisions]], [[progressing-slowly]], [[personal-values]], **Source** -- [[202409180128 - B - Courage is Calling]]
