Difference Between Daring and Manliness

Daring and manliness are not the same thing.

Daring, like power, may come from skill, and also from passion or madness,

but manliness comes from nature and the proper nurture of the soul.

δὲ κἀκεῖ οὐ ταὐτὸν εἶναι θάρσος τε καὶ ἀνδρείαν...θάρσος μὲν γὰρ καὶἀπὸ τέχνης γίγνεται ἀνθρώποις καὶ ἀπὸ θυμοῦ γε καὶ ἀπὸ μανίας, ὥσπερ ἡ δύναμις, ἀνδρία δὲ ἀπὸ φύσεως καὶ εὐτροφίας τῶν ψυχῶν γίγνεται.
