Hah. Now I'm reminded of the first episode of Nisemonogatari where they discuss how the phrase "the courage to X" makes everything sound cooler and nobler:

"The courage to keep your secret to yourself!"

"The courage to lie to your lover!"

"The courage to betray your comrades!"

"The courage to be a lazy bum!"

"The courage to admit defeat!"
