Valor has many parts. Valor is honor. It is an unclear concept like love.

So you can pick a "part" of it and not need to exhaust every possibility. Like the part where the valorous one has the discretion execute his authority, the freedom to choose. If you want you could say that being discrete - cautious in words and deed is the better part of valor or you could say that youth, health, intellect or bravery are.

By choosing the part you like best you define its meaning to you. Is discretion even a small part of valor? Is forgiveness part of love or violence part of hate? Worse part /best part? It is not code.
