What does he who is brave is free mean?

i think it means, he who is brave, has the freedom to do what he wants, i mean someone afraid hides...right?, he is to scared to do things and and fear prevents him to do what he wants, go where he wants. some one brave is the opposite he has the complete freedom do to anything, no fear to hold him back..so yeah hes free...im sure thats it, if u can understand lol :3
