" "A resolução é a coragem aplicada a um caso particular; se se torna uma marca do caráter, passa a ser um hábito do espírito. Não se trata aqui da coragem diante do perigo físico, mas da coragem perante as responsabilidades, ou seja, de certa maneira, perante o perigo moral. É aquilo a que muitas vezes se chamou a coragem do espírito, porque dimana do espírito, ainda que não seja, no entanto, um esforço do espírito, mas sim do temperamento. A inteligência pura e simples não forja a coragem, pois as pessoas mais inteligentes são na sua maioria desprovidas de espírito de resolução. A inteligência precisa, primeiramente, despertar o sentimento de coragem, que mantém e sustenta, porque, nos momentos cruciais, o homem obedece mais aos seus sentimentos que às suas ideias.
Carl von Clausewitz (1 June 1780 – 16 November 1831) was a Prussian general and influential military theorist. He is most famous for his military treatise Vom Kriege, translated into English as On War.

[T]here have been many instances of men who have shown the greatest resolution in an inferior rank, and have lost it in a higher position. While, on the one hand, they are obliged to resolve, on the other they see the dangers of a wrong decision, and as they are surrounded with things new to them, their understanding loses its original force, and they become only the more timid the more they become aware of the danger of the irresolution into which they have fallen, and the more they have formerly been in the habit of acting on the spur of the moment.
