"Discretion is the better part of valor/valour" = thận trọng là một phần của sự dũng cảm -> nghĩa là liều lĩnh đúng chỗ thì mới đáng liều lĩnh, không nên liều lĩnh hoặc mạo hiểm những lúc ko cần thiết.

Ví dụ
"So they'd be legally authorized (ủy quyền hợp pháp) to detain (giam giữ) the person or make a citizen's arrest," he stated. "Discretion often being the better part of valor, and unless they have some special training, we would suggest they just let the people go, document (ghi lại) things as best they can, and let us follow up."

I meet once a month at a restaurant with a group of men to talk politics and philosophy (triết học). Although we convene (tập trung) in a private room, two of my compadres (bạn đồng hành) felt discretion was the better part of valor. We canceled the event. Ironically (trớ trêu thay), we had planned to talk about the COVID-19 epidemic (đại dịch).

Some will call DeWine’s moves, and our advice in the above paragraphs, overreactions (phản ứng thái quá). They may be right. But in a situation like this, it is better to overreact than underreact. Discretion is the better part of valor. If these measures (biện pháp) turn out to be overreactions, they can be lifted (bác bỏ) and we can return to normal life.
