Cowards make the best torturers. Cowards understand fear and they can use it
This republic was not established by cowards; and cowards will not preserve it.
There can be no friendship between cowards, or cowards and brave men.
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.
Men are such cowards. They outrage every law in the world and are afraid of the world's tongue.
Taro taught me that people respect spirit, but even cowards don't respect cowards.
You, too, women, cast away all the cowards from your embraces; they will give you only cowards for children, and you who are the daughters of the land of beauty must bear children who are noble and brave.
The world has no room for cowards.
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.
This is a formidable enemy. To dismiss it as a bunch of 'cowards' perpetuating 'senseless acts of violence' is complacent nonsense. People willing to kill thousands of innocents while they kill themselves are not cowards. They are deadly vicious warriors and need to be treated as such.
No police or military in the world can protect people who are cowards.
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.
The world has no room for cowards. We must all be ready somehow to toil, to suffer, to die.
There are enough cowards in the world without killing a brave creature for so little reason.
The world is not fair, and often fools, cowards, liars and the selfish hide in high places.
I think the most tortured place in hell should be reserved not for traitors, but... for cowards. The weakest, most spineless losers. Because it seems to me that traitors? At least they made a choice. But cowards? They just run around biting their fingernails, totally afraid to do anything. Which is totally worse.
