First, I think that we should rewrite this quote with better punctuations to make it easier to understand: "Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear - not absence of fear." (Mark Twain) I think that "Courage is resistance to fear" means that it is sort of an antagonist to fear. That's pretty straight forward... Then, "mastery of fear - not absence of fear" probably means that someone with courage will still have fear; it doesn't mean that he won't have or feel any fear, however he will use his courage to "master", control, and/or manage the fear and get passed it.
courage is not the exemption of fear, it is the ability to conqure that fear
No, "pluck" generally means to pick or pull something, such as feathers from a bird. Courage is typically referred to as bravery or the ability to face fear or danger.

Perseverance and courage are related but not the same. Perseverance is the ability to persist and keep going despite challenges or obstacles, while courage is the willingness to face fear or danger. Perseverance often involves consistent effort over time, while courage involves taking action in the face of adversity.
Courage is more than just a feeling; it is the ability to face fear, adversity, or danger with confidence and bravery. While courage can involve feeling scared or anxious, it ultimately requires taking action in spite of those emotions.
