Quote #7
"We need courage and patience, but above all, we never rush." (10.100)
As we see here, courage doesn't necessarily mean rushing into a situation without thinking. That's foolishness, not courage.
Quote #8
I seized the candlestick and swung its heavy base into the mirror. (12.145)
Candlesticks are usually more associated with the game Clue than with courage. But in this case, Tom is smashing the mirror to get rid of Mother Malkin. And that takes great courage. Why? We can only imagine what his dad will say when he finds out.
