Swami Vivekananda
Indian - Priest
January 12, 1863 - July 4, 1902

No one step back, that is the idea.... Fight it out, whatever comes. Let the stars move from the sphere! Let the whole world stand against us!.... What of it? Thus fight! You gain nothing by becoming cowards.... Taking a step backward, you do not avoid any misfortune.

Swami Vivekananda

By becoming self-aware, you gain ownership of reality; in becoming real, you become the master of both inner and outer life.

Deepak Chopra

There's nothing good about getting older-absolutely nothing-because the amount of wisdom and experience you gain is negligible compared to what you lose. You do gain a couple of things-you gain a little bittersweet and sour wisdom from your heartbreaks and failures and things-but what you lose is so catastrophic in every way.

Woody Allen

Coaches who let a championship team back off from becoming a dynasty are cowards.

Pat Riley

Wrongly do the Greeks suppose that aught begins or ceases to be; for nothing comes into being or is destroyed; but all is an aggregation or secretion of preexisting things; so that all becoming might more correctly be called becoming mixed, and all corruption, becoming separate.

Anaxagoras

Cowards make the best torturers. Cowards understand fear and they can use it

Mark Lawrence

This republic was not established by cowards; and cowards will not preserve it.

Elmer Davis

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

Mahatma Gandhi

Now I've come to such a mixed culture: America, Europe, South America, Africa. And the politics are changing everywhere all the time and becoming even more unpredictable. There's no such thing as "fixed" culture. China is also becoming more global. Its problems are becoming international problems, becoming German problems, becoming American problems. Nothing is clear-cut. Perhaps I'll find my way - or get totally lost.

Ai Weiwei

It is thus that mutual cowardice keeps us in peace. Were one half of mankind brave and one cowards, the brave would be always beating the cowards. Were all brave, they would lead a very uneasy life; all would be continually fighting; but being all cowards, we go on very well.

Samuel Johnson

We have nothing to lose, nothing to gain, nothing we desired anymore- except to make our lives into a work of art.

Lana Del Rey

To cowards what advice shall I offer? - nothing whatsoever have I to say.

Swami Vivekananda

The brave endure their labors, the cowardly are worth the cowards nothing at all.

Euripides

I hate cowardice; I will have nothing to do with cowards or political nonsense.

Swami Vivekananda

Malicious acts are performed by people for personal gain … Sorcerers, though, have an ulterior purpose for their acts, which has nothing to do with personal gain. The fact that they enjoy their acts does not count as gain. Rather, it is a condition of their character. The average man acts only if there is a chance for profit. Warriors say they act not for profit but for the spirit.
