cowardice

To know what is right and not to do it is the worst cowardice.

Courage enlarges, cowardice diminishes resources. In desperate straits the fears of the timid aggravate the dangers that imperil the brave.

Any coward can sit in his home and criticize a pilot for flying into a mountain in a fog. But I would rather, by far, die on a mountainside than in bed. What kind of man would live where there is no daring? And is life so dear that we should blame men for dying in adventure? Is there a better way to die?

I loathe people who keep dogs. They are cowards who have not got the guts to bite people themselves.

To run away from trouble is a form of cowardice and, while it is true that the suicide braves death, he does it not for some noble object but to escape some ill.

There grows No herb of help to heal a coward heart.

What can ennoble sots or slaves or cowards? Alas! not all the blood of all the Howards.

I had as many doubts as anyone else. Standing on the starting line, we're all cowards.

As the ostrich when pursued hideth his head, but forgetteth his body; so the fears of a coward expose him to danger.

Only cowards insult dying majesty.
