evidence: It’s courage to do the right thing, to vote the right way, even if it might be unpopular with your base back home. Courage to do what is right even if it is not in your self interest—indeed, if it might hurt you politically or otherwise, but it’s in the interest of others. And don’t for a second think that this only happens on one side of the aisle. The vast majority of my colleagues know what’s going on, and they’ll share their honest views in private, but then too few are courageous enough to share them in public. [...] Which brings me to that second value so important to finding courage in peace: humility. Churchill was not one likely to invoke humility by name, but sometimes it does take courage, or confidence at least, to be humble.
