Plato, _Laches_ :
http://www.gutenberg.org/files/1584/1584-h/1584-h.htm#2H_4_0002
"NICIAS: I mean to say, Laches, that courage is the knowledge of that
which inspires fear or confidence in war, or in anything."
Also:
NICIAS: Why, Laches, I do not call animals or any other things which have no fear of dangers, because they are ignorant of them,
courageous, but only fearless and senseless. Do you imagine that I should call little children courageous, which fear no dangers
because they know none? There is a difference, to my way of thinking, between fearlessness and courage. I am of opinion that
thoughtful courage is a quality possessed by very few, but that rashness and boldness, and fearlessness, which has no forethought,
are very common qualities possessed by many men, many women, many children, many animals. And you, and men in general, call by the
term 'courageous' actions which I call rash;-my courageous actions are wise actions.

To have courage, must one understand that which he fears?
