Civil valor

      "After all, we have gotten use to regarding as valor only valor in war (or the kind that is needed for flying in outer space), the kind which jingle-jangles with medals.  We have forgotten another concept of valor—civil valor.  And that's all our society needs, just that, just that, just that!  That's all we need and that's exactly what we haven't got."
