Valor: It takes personal strength, courage, and integrity to put community ahead of self.

I count him braver who overcomes his desires than he who conquers his enemies; for the hardest victory is over self.

There should exist among the citizens neither extreme poverty nor, again, excessive wealth; both are productive of great evil.
- Plato
