Aristotle
Rhetoric Section 9
Section 380 of 882
Canonical reference 2.12.9
Ancient Greek
καὶ ἀνδρειότεροι (θυμώδεις γὰρ καὶ εὐέλπιδες, ὧν τὸ μὲν μὴ φοβεῖσθαι τὸ δὲ θαρρεῖν ποιεῖ· οὔτε γὰρ ὀργιζόμενος οὐδεὶς φοβεῖται, τό τε ἐλπίζειν ἀγαθόν τι θαρραλέον ἐστίν),
English
J. H. Freese, 1926
And they are more courageous, for they are full of passion and hope, and the former of these prevents them fearing, while the latter inspires them with confidence, for no one fears when angry, and hope of some advantage inspires confidence.

Ils sont aussi plus courageux, car ils sont pleins de passion et d’espoir. La première les empêche d’avoir peur, tandis que le second leur inspire confiance, car nul n’a peur lorsqu’il est en colère, et l’espoir de quelque avantage inspire confiance.
