- Mahatma Gandhi99◆ Hatred is the coward's revenge for being intimidated.
- George Bernard Shaw99◆ But the only way never to do the wrong thing is never to do anything.
- Jim Butcher99◆ Fight or flight? If I had wings, there'd be no choice. But since I don't have wings, I have to rely on my cape, and a long running start.
- Jarod Kintz99◆ The real hero is always a hero by mistake; he dreams of being an honest coward like everybody else.
- Umberto Eco99◆ I'm astounded whenever I finish something. Astounded and distressed. My perfectionist instinct should inhibit me from finishing: it should inhibit me from even beginning. But I get distracted and start doing something. What I achieve is not the product of an act of my will but of my will's surrender. I begin because I don't have the strength to think; I finish because I don't have the courage to quit. This book is my cowardice.
- Fernando Pessoa99◆ Tolerance of intolerance is cowardice.
- Ayaan Hirsi Ali99◆ I have always found it odd that people who think passive aggressively ignoring a person is making a point to them. The only point it makes to anyone is your inability to articulate your point of view because deep down you know you can't win. It's better to assert yourself and tell the person you are moving on without them and why, rather than leave a lasting impression of cowardness on your part in a person's mind by avoiding them.
- Shannon L. Alder99◆ The nation that will insist on drawing a broad line of demarcation between the fighting man and the thinking man is liable to find its fighting done by fools and its thinking done by cowards.
- Thucydides99◆ Long before morning I knew that what I was seeking to discover was a thing I'd always known. That all courage was a form of constancy. That it is always himself that the coward abandoned first. After this all other betrayals come easily.
- Cormac McCarthy99◆ We believe that preparation eradicates cowardice, which we define as the failure to act in the midst of fear.
- Veronica Roth99◆ Conscience and cowardice are really the same things, Basil. Conscience is the trade-name of the firm. That is all.
- Oscar Wilde99◆ Son, never trust a man who doesn't drink because he's probably a self-righteous sort, a man who thinks he knows right from wrong all the time. Some of them are good men, but in the name of goodness, they cause most of the suffering in the world. They're the judges, the meddlers. And, son, never trust a man who drinks but refuses to get drunk. They're usually afraid of something deep down inside, either that they're a coward or a fool or mean and violent. You can't trust a man who's afraid of himself. But sometimes, son, you can trust a man who occasionally kneels before a toilet. The chances are that he is learning something about humility and his natural human foolishness, about how to survive himself. It's damned hard for a man to take himself too seriously when he's heaving his guts into a dirty toilet bowl.
- James Crumley99◆ A team is where a boy can prove his courage on his own. A gang is where a coward goes to hide.
- Mickey Mantle99◆ In self-defense and in defense of the innocent, cowardice is the only sin.
- Dean Koontz99
