coward

You feed your fears to grow muscles against you when you run away from what frightens you. Little do you know that it__ frightened when you face it boldly!

It is what you do about the fear you feel that sets you apart, to be a coward or a courageous person.

A coward is a man who'd rather live dead than die alive

One theft, however, does not make a thief . . Action which defines a man, describes his character, is action which has been repeated over and over and so has come in time to be a coherent and relatively independent mode of behavior. At first it may have been fumbling and uncertain, may have required attention, effort, will - as when first drives a car, first makes love, first robs a bank, first stands up against injustice. If one perseveres on any such course it comes in time to require less effort, less attention, begins to function smoothly; its small component behaviors become integrated within a larger pattern which has an ongoing dynamism and cohesiveness, carries its own authority. Such a mode then pervades the entire person, permeates other modes, colors other qualities, in some sense is living and operative even when the action is not being performed, or even considered. . . . Such a mode of action tends to maintain itself, to resist change. A thief is one who steals; stealing extends and reinforces the identity of a thief, which generates further thefts, which further strengthen and deepen the identity. So long as one lives, change is possible; but the longer such behavior is continued the more force and authority it acquires, the more it permeates other constant bodes, subordinates other conflicting modes; changing back becomes steadily more difficult; settling down to an honest job, living on one's earnings becomes ever more unlikely. And what is said here of stealing applies equally to courage, cowardice, creativity . . . or any other of the myriad ways of behaving, and hence of being.

Only the winner and coward may survive.

If you build the guts to do something, anything, then you better save enough to face the consequences.

The brave soldiers die. The cowards survive and write the history.

You know, there's a word for big, strong men who attack women, and it's coward.

All the words I had prepared turned coward and fled my mind like conscripts deserting a battlefield.

Possession is not only when the devil plays hide and seek in your brain or poison your medula oblongata with negativity, but it is also when you are under the influence of the same specie as you!

Who you are in public is a test of your conviction; who you are in private, integrity.

Having a date with someone other than your ex-wife after being a married man for more than twenty five years was an important occasion alright, but wearing a tie she bought with such strong emotional value attached to it was a form of cowardice, a subconscious reluctance to let go.

I am happy to be alone. Perhaps this is true. Or perhaps I am the biggest coward of all.

Only a coward carries a gun, a brave person never needs a gun.

Any coward can be a peacekeeper! In fact, that comes to one naturally. But they are blessed, the peacemakers...and all those who know the difference.

I'm really a peaceful sort of coward.

When dark situations arise, it is opportunity for you to reveal the leader in you. Rise and deal with them.
