Note
A plural formed from a noun that usually has none. Courage is normally uncountable, so the -s form signals separate kinds or acts of bravery rather than a greater amount of it: the quiet courages of ordinary people, or the different courages a hard life demands. It belongs to literary and reflective prose. In everyday writing, acts of courage says the same thing more plainly.
