Cowardly Quotes (page 10)

Even if a tamed wolf makes a good sheepdog, he will never understand how the sheep feel....You are most fortunate. For having been, as you thought, a coward, and helpless to fight - you know what that is like. You know what bitterness that feeling breeds - you know in your own heart what kind of evil it brings. And so you are most fit to fight it where it occurs. Elizabeth Moon
Fyodor Dostoevsky quote: "It is a law of nature that every decent man on earth is bound..."
It is a law of nature that every decent man on earth is bound to be a coward and a slave Fyodor Dostoevsky
The power of "can't": The word "can't" makes strong people weak, blinds people who can see, saddens happy people, turns brave people into cowards, robs a genius of their brilliance, causes rich people to think poorly, and limits the achievements of that great person living inside us all. Robert Kiyosaki
Robert Ludlum quote: "Perhaps conscience did not always produce cowards. Sometimes..."
Perhaps conscience did not always produce cowards. Sometimes it made a man feel better about himself. Robert Ludlum
...Plato rightly taught that virtue is one. You cannot be kind unless you have all the other virtues. If, being cowardly, conceited, and slothful, you have never yet done a fellow creature great mischief, that is only because your neighbour's welfare has not yet happened to conflict with your safety, self-approval, or ease. Every vice leads to cruelty. C. S. Lewis
You're obliged to pretend respect for people and institutions you find absurd. You live attached in a cowardly fashion to moral and social conventions you despise, condemn, and know lack all foundation. It is that permanent contradiction between your ideas and desires and all the dead formalities and vain pretenses of your civilization which makes you sad, troubled and unbalanced. In that intolerable conflict you lose all joy of life and feeling of personality, because at every moment they... Octave Mirbeau
What about me? I love you so much... And I tried to make you go away... I killed you and it didn't help. And I hate it! I hate that it's so hard... and that you can hurt me so much. I know everything that you did, because you did it to me. Oh, God! I wish that I wished you dead. I don't. I can't. Strong is fighting! It's hard, and it's painful, and it's every day. It's what we have to do. And we can do it together. But if you're too much of a coward for that, then burn. If I can't convince... Joss Whedon
William Shakespeare quote: "Thus conscience does make cowards of us all."
Thus conscience does make cowards of us all. William Shakespeare
Ella Wheeler Wilcox quote: "To sin by silence, when we should protest, Makes cowards out..."
To sin by silence, when we should protest, Makes cowards out of men. Ella Wheeler Wilcox

Mahatma Gandhi quote: "Fearlessness is the first requisite of spirituality. Cowards..."
Fearlessness is the first requisite of spirituality. Cowards can never be moral. Mahatma Gandhi
Filled with a coward rage that dares to burn but does not dare to blaze, Lord Emsworth coughed a cough that was undisguisedly a bronchial white flag. P. G. Wodehouse
If I talk, everyone thinks I'm showing off; when I'm silent they think I'm ridiculous, rude if I answer, sly if I get a good idea, lazy if I'm tired, selfish if I eat a mouthful more than I should, stupid, cowardly, crafty, etc., etc. Anne Frank
I assert most unhesitatingly, that the religion of the south is a mere covering for the most horrid crimes, - a justifier of the most appalling barbarity, - a sanctifier of the most hateful frauds, - and a dark shelter under, which the darkest, foulest, grossest, and most infernal deeds of the slaveholders find the strongest protection. Were I to be again reduced to the chains of slavery, next to enslavement, I should regard being the slave of a religious master the greatest calamity that... Frederick Douglass
Yet in the most mean, cowardly, hypocritical way the British ruling class did all they could to hand Spain over to Franco and the Nazis. Why? Because they were pro-Fascist, was the obvious answer. George Orwell
