Re: Bravery vs Courage
This is what I found:
The word courage comes from the French coeur, meaning heart. It is thus a quality of character that enables an individual to plan an action plan to address a particular difficulty. The word bravery comes from the Spanish word bravado, which means a single, spontaneous act of value. This is not a planned action, but a reaction to a crisis.
So I guess there is a difference after all.

Re: Bravery vs Courage
While each word came from a different language originally, that does not mean that their present use in our language (which is separate from both of the words' derivations) is different, similar to the word "chickpea" and the word "garbanzo bean." While they have different roots, they describe the same thing--a tasty bean that can be used to make hummus.

In the English language they do. Just sayin'. You're saying that the word roots are different, and I understand that. However, language is not static and changes over time. The present meaning and usage of these words in English is the same.

Re: Bravery vs Courage
The difference between bravery and idiocy is always a good discussion. It pays to stay humble and appreciate everyone around you that you can. You never know who is going to be the guy/gal that will run into a burning building to save you and your loved ones. Just might be the guy changing the trash bags that everyone sees fit to think they are better than.
