Men create real miracles when they use their God-given courage and intelligence.

The line contrasts supernatural “miracles” with human-made transformations. It suggests that what people often attribute to divine intervention can, in practice, be achieved through the disciplined exercise of qualities already “God-given”: courage (the will to act despite fear or risk) and intelligence (the capacity to plan, judge, and invent). The emphasis falls on moral agency and responsibility—miracles are not passive gifts received but outcomes created. Read this way, the quote functions as an exhortation: do not wait for salvation from outside history; extraordinary change is possible when individuals choose brave, lucid action.
