Cowardice Quotes

The opposite of courage in our society is not cowardice, it is conformity Picture Quote #1

The recommendation by the Arkansas Supreme Court Disciplinary Committee that President Clinton be disbarred is like a tender green shoot of integrity rising from the stinking junkyard of American public life. At last, some official body has come to a decision about Clinton’s conduct that is untainted by politics, cowardice or cynicism Picture Quote #1

Humor is not an unconditional virtue; its moral character depends on its object. To laugh at the contemptible, is a virtue; to laugh at the good, is a hideous vice. Too often, humor is used as the camouflage of moral cowardice Picture Quote #1

Let’s just call things what they are. When a man’s love of finery clouds his moral judgment, that is vanity. When he lets a demanding palate make his moral choices, that is gluttony. When he ascribes the divine will to his own whims, that is pride. And when he gets angry at being reminded of animal suffering that his own daily choices might help avoid, that is moral cowardice Picture Quote #1

Tom loved all of them passionately, but he felt heavy and earth-bound. He climbed ecstatic mountains and floundered in the rocky darkness between the peaks. He had spurts of bravery but they were bracketed in battens of cowardice Picture Quote #1

The notion that the ‘leader’ has the right to ask huge sacrifices of your generation for a notional future paradise - if you’d be good enough to lie down under the wheels of the juggernaut - that sentimental and self-aggrandising rationalisation for brute force and cowardice I felt from adolescence was wrong Picture Quote #1

The desire to gain wealth and the fear to lose it are our chief breeders of cowardice and propagators of corruption Picture Quote #1

Because at bottom, I’m interested in fear, and in courage and cowardice and these are easier to get at through fiction, where you can enter people’s heads Picture Quote #1

Alas, nothing reveals man the way war does. Nothing so accentuates in him the beauty and ugliness, the intelligence and foolishness, the brutishness and humanity, the courage and cowardice, the enigma Picture Quote #1

Blood has an oder faint but distinct, of conceit and modesty, of courage and cowardice, of charity and greed, of faith and doubt, in short the fragrance of what we might have been and the smell of what we are Picture Quote #1

Tom’s cowardice was as huge as his courage, as it must be in great men Picture Quote #1

Apparent confusion is a product of good order; apparent cowardice, of courage; apparent weakness, of strength Picture Quote #1

... the courage of one’s opinions is always a form of calculating cowardice in the eyes of the ‘other side’ Picture Quote #1

The fancies that take their monstrous birth from the spinelessness and boredom of usurped wealth bring in their wake every defect ... and though rich men’s crimes escape the law, protected as they are by the cowardice of governments and people, Nature, more real than society, sets her anarchic example by abandoning the wretched time servers of Capital to the shame and madness of the worst aberrations Picture Quote #1

Being strong is not the same as being a strong being. I should know because cowardice runs in my family, as I always run from my fears Picture Quote #1

. . . If you are really my children, you will fear nothing, stop at nothing. You will be like lions. We must rouse India and the whole world. No cowardice Picture Quote #1

Running away for fear of death, leaving one’s dear ones, temples or music to take care of themselves, is irreligion; it is cowardice Picture Quote #1
