Heroes and cowards feel exactly the same fear. Heroes just react to it differently.

Cus D'Amato

Some people are cowards... I think by and large a third of people are villains, a third are cowards, and a third are heroes. Now, a villain and a coward can choose to be a hero, but they've got to make that choice.

Tom Hanks

Suffer what there is to suffer. Enjoy what there is to enjoy. Regard both suffering and joy as facts of life.

Nichiren

The hope of immortality makes heroes of cowards.

Thomas Guthrie

The cowards think of what they can lose, the heroes of what they can win.

Jean-Michel Charlier

Life moves on, whether we act as cowards or heroes.

Henry Miller

Even the biggest heroes turn into cowards when they get tired.

Mirko Cro Cop

Heroes and cowards feel the same fear and action creates opportunities.

Garrison Wynn

Suffer what there is to suffer, enjoy what there is to enjoy. Regard both suffering and joy as facts of life, and continue chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, no matter what happens. How could this be anything other than the boundless joy of the Law?

Nichiren

Heroes are not known by the loftiness of their carriage; the greatest braggarts are generally the merest cowards.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau

Great occasions do not make heroes or cowards; they simply unveil them to the eyes of men.

Brooke Westcott

Death, after all, is the common expectation from birth. Neither heroes nor cowards can escape it.

Ellis Peters

For me, motivation is easy. I enjoy what I'm doing, and I'm lucky to play tennis. I enjoy the suffering. It's something quite natural for me to go on the court and suffer, and to go in the gym and to suffer, and to know the only way to get better is to work out - that's what I like.

Stan Wawrinka

The world has no room for cowards. We must all be ready somehow to toil, to suffer, to die.

Robert Louis Stevenson

There is no merit where there is no trial; and till experience stamps the mark of strength, cowards may pass for heroes, and faith for falsehood.

Aaron Hill

Military mythology has to pretend that real men are in the majority; cowards can never be allowed to feel that they might be the normal ones and the heroes are insane.

Germaine Greer
