COURAGE AND FORTITUDE
Courage is often regarded as a quality which enables men to face sudden and violent emergency successfully, says The Times. When that quality has to be maintained over a long period - it hardens into fortitude. A man might have courage in the briefer sense without being able to compass fortitude, but it is difficult to imagine anyone having fortitude who had not also the Initial courage. Fortitude is indeed long-term courage, and it is that variety of courage that is our gi'eatest need now. In humble thankfulness we British believe that, as a nation, we- possess it. and that the courage that flamed high against military reverse and savage air assault can be spun out into tough and tireless endurance of any form of attack for any length of time required.
