I'm assuming it means intelligence and strength. What is this quote from? I've heard "brains and brawn" used a lot but not "bronze". If it's the correct quote, it refers to smarts and physical strength.

The term is 'brain and brawn'. Brain stands for intellectual power and brawn for physical strength. The term is used when one needs to compare the two main capacities of a human being: the mental abilities and the physical.

I think the saying is actually about brains and brawn...Brawn is like strong or full of muscle...in other words it is saying it is better to be smart than tough.

I THINK YOU MEAN BRAINS AND BRAWN, MEANING INTELLIGENCE AND MUSCULAR STRENGTH.
