About This Quote

This quote needs no introduction—at least for now. We're working on adding more context soon.

Interpretation

The line suggests that genuine bravery does not need rhetorical ornament to persuade: when someone acts with courage, the right words—or the persuasive force of speech—tend to arise naturally. “Eloquence” here can be read both literally (effective speaking) and more broadly (the compelling clarity of decisive action). The aphorism implies a classical ideal in which moral qualities generate their own authority: courage carries an intrinsic credibility that can make even plain speech convincing. It also hints at a contrast with calculated or cowardly speech, which may rely on artifice, excuses, or over-elaboration to compensate for lack of resolve.
