You can have courage based

Should you always do
what others tell you to do?

Sometimes you might not even know
why you're doing something.

I mean, any fool can have courage.
1470

But honor, that's the real reason
you either do something or you don't.
1471
01:41:11,315 --> 01:41:14,276
It's who you are
and maybe who you want to be.

If you die trying for
something important...
1473
01:41:17,989 --> 01:41:22,492
...then you have both honor and
courage, and that's pretty good.

and try for honor.
