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.
Good order makes men bold, and confusion, cowards.
To sin by silence, when they should protest, makes cowards of men.
To stand in silence when they should be protesting makes cowards of men.
To sin by silence, when we should protest, Makes cowards out of men.
There can be no friendship between cowards, or cowards and brave men.
There is nothing that makes more cowards and feeble men than public opinion.
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.
Men should pledge themselves to nothing; for reflection makes a liar of their resolution.

That all men would be cowards if they dare,
Some men we know have courage to declare.
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.
Men with discrimination will be viewed as schemers; second, men with deep far-sightedness will be seen as cowards; and third, men with rough behaviour will be mistaken for real warriors. These are great errors.
Imagination makes cowards of us all.
