Non-violence and cowardice are contradictory terms. Non-violence is the greatest virtue, cowardice the greatest vice. Non-violence springs from love, cowardice from hate. Non-violence always suffers, cowardice would always inflict suffering. Perfect non-violence is the highest bravery. Non-violent conduct is never demoralising; cowardice always is.

Mahatma Gandhi

The opposite of bravery is not cowardice but conformity.

Robert Anthony

Bravery is knowledge of the cowardice of the enemy.

E. W. Howe

Most civilisation is based on cowardice. It's so easy to civilize by teaching cowardice. You water down the standards which would lead to bravery. You restrain the will. You regulate the appetites. You fence in the horizons. You make a law for every movement. You deny the existence of chaos. You teach even the children to breathe slowly. You tame.

Frank Herbert

Bravery is a mean state concerned with things that inspire confidence and with things fearful ... and leading us to choose danger and to face it, either because to do so is noble, or because not to do so is base. But to court death as an escape from poverty, or from love, or from some grievous pain, is no proof of bravery, but rather of cowardice.

Aristotle

Bravery escapes more dangers than cowardice.

Joseph Alexandre Pierre de Segur, Viscount of Segur

I'll tell you what bravery really is. Bravery is just determination to do a job that you know has to be done.

Audie Murphy

There's nothing but brutality and bravery or cowardice that comes out of war. That's pretty much it.

Michael Cimino

Giving your team cover for their cowardice is foolish. Give them a platform for bravery instead.

Seth

I think we're living in an age which despises humanity and despises bravery and doesn't need bravery because modern warfare has rather gone beyond bravery. It is a kind of warfare where people are fighting enemies they never see, killing people of whom they know nothing.

Robertson Davies

For thousands to do to death a few hundreds is no bravery. It is worse than cowardice. It is unworthy of nationalism, of any religion.

Mahatma Gandhi

It is not an act of bravery to try to save your own village. It is an instinct to protect what you possess. Bravery is when you step in to help when you have nothing to lose.

Gail Tsukiyama

Bravery despite defeat is praiseworthy. Victory despite cowardice is beyond praise.

Mason Cooley

Taking stock of what you own, when done correctly and thoroughly, helps dampen the urge to shop frivolously.

Nina Garcia

Retreat itself is often a plan of resistance and may be a precursor of great bravery and sacrifice. Every retreat is not cowardice which implies fear to die.

Mahatma Gandhi

There is no lack of bravery in the ranks of our armed forces, but bureaucratic cowardice rules in our intelligence establishment (as well as at the higher levels of military command).
