Some people mistake weakness for tact. If they are silent when they ought to speak and so feign an agreement they do not feel, they call it being tactful. Cowardice would be a much better name. Tact is an active quality t hat is not exercised by merely making a dash for cover. Be sure, when you think you are being extremely tactful, that you are not in reality running away from something you ought to face Picture Quote #1

When will the state of the country be sound?... When its people believe that the end result of cowardice is more disastrous than that of behaving with integrity Picture Quote #1

Envy is a passion so full of cowardice and shame that nobody ever had the confidence to own it Picture Quote #1

Love without courage and wisdom is sentimentality, as with the ordinary church member. Courage without love and wisdom is foolhardiness, as with the ordinary soldier. Wisdom without love and courage is cowardice, as with the ordinary intellectual. But the one who has love, courage and wisdom moves the world Picture Quote #1

In any case, it’s the cowardice of people like you who give dictators the chance to install themselves! Picture Quote #1

Let’s just call things what they are. When a man’s love of finery clouds his moral judgment, that is vanity. When he lets a demanding palate make his moral choices, that is gluttony. When he ascribes the divine will to his own whims, that is pride. And when he gets angry at being reminded of animal suffering that his own daily choices might help avoid, that is moral cowardice Picture Quote #1

If it is true that cowardice is the most grave vice, then the dog, at least, is not guilty of it Picture Quote #1

I always say the truth is best even when we find it unpleasant. Any rat in a sewer can lie. It’s how rats are. It’s what makes them rats. But a human doesn’t run and hide in dark places, because he’s something more. Lying is the most personal act of cowardice there is Picture Quote #1

When would he realize that it wasn’t his infidelity I couldn’t bear, but his cowardice? Picture Quote #1

So it is the fear, weakness, selfishness, and cowardice of onlookers that permit evil behavior to persist Picture Quote #1

I’d never understood the injunction not to regret anything, couldn’t see how that wasn’t cowardice Picture Quote #1

No one blames a pilot who takes refuge in port when the storm begins to blow. It is not cowardice to duck under a bullet; what is wrong is to defy it only to fall and never rise again Picture Quote #1

Religion used to be the opium of the people. To those suffering humiliation, pain, illness, and serfdom, religion promised the reward of an after life. But now, we are witnessing a transformation, a true opium of the people is the belief in nothingness after death, the huge solace, the huge comfort of thinking that for our betrayals, our greed, our cowardice, our murders, we are not going to be judged Picture Quote #1

Auschwitz is outside of us, but it is all around us, in the air. The plague has died away, but the infection still lingers and it would be foolish to deny it. Rejection of human solidarity, obtuse and cynical indifference to the suffering of others, abdication of the intellect and of moral sense to the principle of authority, and above all, at the root of everything, a sweeping tide of cowardice, a colossal cowardice which masks itself as warring virtue, love of country and faith in an idea Picture Quote #1

From long familiarity, we know what honor is. It is what enables the individual to do right in the face of complacency and cowardice. It is what enables the soldier to die alone, the political prisoner to resist, the singer to sing her song, hardly appreciated, on a side street Picture Quote #1

True patriots believe that freedom from responsibility is selfishness, freedom from sacrifice is cowardice, freedom from tolerance is prejudice, freedom from stewardship is exploitation, and freedom from compassion is cruelty Picture Quote #1

There could be no justice, unless there were also injustice; no courage, unless there were cowardice; no truth, unless there were falsehood Picture Quote #1

I believe that love that is true and real creates a respite from death. All cowardice comes from not loving, or not loving well, which is the same thing Picture Quote #1

For peace, with justice and honor, is the fairest and most profitable of possessions, but with disgrace and shameful cowardice, it is the most infamous and harmful of all Picture Quote #1

You disappoint yourself more often by not doing things because of cowardice and temerity than you ever did by doing things that turn out to be wrong Picture Quote #1

How many times did someone have to run in front of a machine gun before it became an act of cowardice? Picture Quote #1

Calculating people are contemptable. The reason for this is that calculation deals with loss and gain, and the loss and gain mind never stops. Death is considered loss and life is considered gain. Thus, death is something that such a person does not care for, and he is contemptable. Furthermore, scholars and their like are men who with wit and speech hide their own true cowardice and greed. People often misjudge this Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

If suicide be supposed a crime, it is only cowardice can impel us to it. If it be no crime, both prudence and courage should engage us to rid ourselves at once of existence when it becomes a burden. It is the only way that we can then be useful to society, by setting an example which, if imitated, would preserve every one his chance for happiness in life, and would effectually free him from all danger or misery Picture Quote #1
