Just as courage imperils life, fear protects it.
Interpretation
What this quote means
Courage can put one in danger, while fear often serves as a protective mechanism.
This quote by Leonardo Da Vinci highlights the dual nature of courage and fear. While courage is necessary for taking risks and pursuing meaningful goals, it can also lead to perilous situations. Conversely, fear may act as a safeguard, preventing individuals from engaging in actions that could lead to harm. Thus, both emotions play crucial roles in human experience, with courage propelling us forward and fear keeping us safe.

We face up to awful things because we can't go around them, or forget them. The sooner you get it over with, the sooner you say 'Yes, it happened, and there's nothing I can do about it,' the sooner you can get on with your own life. You've got children to bring up. So you've got to get over it. What we have to get over, somehow we do. Even the worst things.
