Isn't it right to say "And the most important" with "the"?

Great question. “Most important” is an adjective that can stand on its own in certain cases as the prefix ‘the’ can often be omitted, especially in cases like this where it is part of a list of things. If we think if the sentence like this "And the most important is to have the courage", it is still grammatically correct. However, a comma may be used instead as in “And most important, have the courage" omitting "the" but still gramatically correct. Ex: What do you think is most important for a good friendship? Ex: We need to pack socks, toothbrushes for the trip and most important, underwear.
