“When a resolute young fellow steps up to the great bully, the world, and takes him boldly by the beard, he is often surprised to find it comes off in his hand, and that it was only tied on to scare away the timid adventurers.”

Keywords: resolute, boldly, timid.

Resolve, resolute, resolution. Very powerful words, yes?
