We have seen how a man having physical courage acts in defense of his life
and property; also how a man having moral courage acts in defense of his
opinions; and now, how does one act who has Divine courage?

He who has the New Courage does not attack other men or defend himself;
does not attack their opinions or defend his own; he is the defender of all
men, and that from which he defends them is their own folly, their own
ungoverned passions. While never seeking to protect himself, he so acts as
to shield others from their deadliest enemy, namely, the evil within
themselves.

Both physical and moral courage make much noise. In the one there is the
clash of arms and the roar of artillery, along with the shouts of the
victories and the groans of the dying; in the other there is the fierce war
of opinions and the clamor of conflicting tongues. But in the New Courage
there is a profound silence; yet this silence has more influence and
enduring power in one man than that noise has in entire humanity. The New
Courage may, indeed be described as the courage to be silent. Thus, when
the man of Divine courage is attacked, abused, or slandered, he remains
serenely silent. Yet this is not a proud and selfish silence. It is a
silence based upon a right knowledge of life and having a profound and
beneficent purpose; that purpose being the good of the attacking person
(and, through him, of all mankind) by protecting him from the evil passion
by which he is so injuriously influenced.
