What does "it" refer to?

A coward is incapable of exhibiting love; "it" is the prerogative of the brave.

In the above sentence, can I interpret "it" as "the capability of exhibiting love?"

Also can I rewrite "the brave" as "brave people (whthout 'the')?"

Thank you in advance.

[edit] One more quote:
When we feel love and kindness toward others, it not only makes others feel loved and cared for, but "it" helps us also to develop inner happiness and peace.

In this sentence, can I use "to feel love and kindness toward others" for "it"?
