Aristotle Book 11 of the Nichomachean Ethics

"We become just by doing just acts, temperate by doing temperate acts, brave by doing brave acts."

"It is by acting bravely that we become brave.'

By doing the acts that we do in our transactions with others we become just or unjust, and by doing the acts that we do in the presence of danger, and being habituated to feel fear or confidence, we become brave or cowardly
