To sin by silence, when we should protest, Makes cowards out of men.

Ella Wheeler Wilcox

To stand in silence when they should be protesting makes cowards of men.

Abraham Lincoln

Each man must not think only of himself, but also of his buddy fighting beside him. We don't want yellow cowards in this Army. They should be killed off like rats. If not, they will go home after this war and breed more cowards. The brave men will breed more brave men. Kill off the Goddamned cowards and we will have a nation of brave men.

George S. Patton

Cowards only sin, brave men never, no, not even in mind.

Swami Vivekananda

When my conscience under the Holy Spirit makes me aware of a specific sin I should at once call that sin sin and bring it consciously under the blood of Christ.

Francis Schaeffer

Reflection makes men cowards.

William Hazlitt

I think the biggest statement we can make as men, not as black men, as men, is to stick together and show how strong we are as a group. Not splinter. Not walk. It's easy to protest. The protest will be in our play.

Doc Rivers

Most Men are Cowards, all Men should be Knaves. The Difference lies, as far as I can see, Not in the thing it self, but the Degree.

John Wilmot

Good order makes men bold, and confusion, cowards.

Niccolo Machiavelli

Ingratitude is the frost that nips the flower even as it opens, that shrivels the generous apple on the branch, that freezes the fountain in mid-flow and numbs the hand, even in the very act of giving. It is a sin of silence, absence and omission, as winter's sin is a lack of light; a sin against charity, which otherwise warms the heart and, in the truest sense, makes the world turn.

Ann Wroe

There can be no friendship between cowards, or cowards and brave men.

Mahatma Gandhi

The scandal of the world is what makes the offence; it is not sinful to sin in silence.

Moliere

There is nothing that makes more cowards and feeble men than public opinion.

Henry Ward Beecher

No one wants police brutality. No one wants inequality. But what I worry about it is when a protest becomes so large and the noise takes over that the original motivation for the protest and the conversation that should go with that protest gets lost.

Mike Leach

Golf does strange things to other people, too. It makes liars out of honest men, cheats out of altruists, cowards out of brave men and fools out of everybody.

Milt Gross

You should protest about the views of people you disagree with over major moral issues, and argue them down, but you should not try to silence them, however repugnant you find them. That is the bitter pill free speech requires us to swallow.

Julian Baggini
