The real hero is always a hero by mistake.
Umberto Eco

I'm currently in the middle of a depression. I couldn't really tell you what set it off, but I think it stems from my cowardice, which confronts me at every turn.
Anne Frank

I traded cowardice for cruelty I traded weakness for ferocity.
Veronica Roth

No one's perfect, I whisper. It doesn't work that way. One bad thing goes away, and another bad thing replaces it. I traded cowardice for cruelty I traded weakness for ferocity.
Veronica Roth

In self-defense and in defense of the innocent, cowardice is the only sin.
Dean Koontz
Image
Love without courage and wisdom is sentimentality, as with the ordinary church member. Courage without love and wisdom is foolhardiness, as with the ordinary soldier. Wisdom without love and courage is cowardice, as with the ordinary intellectual. But the one who has love, courage and wisdom moves the world.
Ammon Hennacy

It is this unquiet self-love that renders us so sensitive. The sick man, who sleeps ill, thinks the night long. We exaggerate, from cowardice, all the evils which we encounter they are great, but our sensibility increases them. The true way to bear them is to yield ourselves up with confidence to God.
Francois Fenelon

I understood about fear. And I knew better than anyone in that room what Mouse was capable of. But still I had been raised in a place where to show your fear was worse than cowardice. It was suicide, a sin.
Walter Mosley
Image
Order or disorder depends on organisation and direction courage or cowardice on circumstances strength or weakness on tactical dispositions.
Sun Tzu

Despising cowardice in others, I wished to prove myself no coward. Believing in the good, the gentle, the beautiful things of life, I addressed myself to the sweet duty of keeping these attributes for my children's sake and my own. And in striving to provide a living for them, I found a success beyond my wildest dreams.
Alice Foote MacDougall

Cowardice is the most terrible of vices.
Mikhail Bulgakov

True courage is mixed with circumspection, the kind of healthy skepticism that asks, 'Is this the best way to do this?' True cowardice is marked by chronic skepticism, which always says, 'It can't be done.'
William Bennett
Image
Nonconformity is an empty goal, and rebellion against prevailing opinion merely because it is prevailing should no more be praised than acquiescence to it. Indeed, it is often a mask for cowardice, and few are more pathetic than those who flaunt outer differences to expiate their inner surrender.
William H. Whyte
Image
There is always a philosophy for lack of courage.
Albert Camus
Image
Cowardice asks: Is it safe? Expediency asks: Is it politic? But Conscience asks: Is it right?
William Morley Punshon
Image
Who, with tame cowardice familiar grown, would hear my thoughts, but fear to speak their own.
Charles Churchill
Image
Cowardice is the mother of cruelty.
Michel de Montaigne
Image
The wildest hath not such a heart as you. Run when you will, the story shall be changed: Apollo flies, and Daphne holds the chase The dove pursues the griffin the mild hind Makes speed to catch the tiger bootless speed, When cowardice pursues and valour flies.
William Shakespeare
Image
I would give all of my fame for a pot of ale and safety.
William Shakespeare

For my part, I may speak it to my shame, I have a truant been to chivalry And so I hear he doth account me too.
William Shakespeare
Image
Foul fiend of France and hag of all despite, Encompassed with thy lustful paramours, Becomes it thee to taunt his valiant age And twit with cowardice a man half dead?
William Shakespeare
Image
How many cowards whose hearts are all as false As stairs of sand, wear yet upon their chins The beards of Hercules and frowning Mars, Who inward searched, have livers white as milk!
William Shakespeare
