Coward

Famous quotes containing the word coward:

    In Bengal to move at all
    Is seldom, if ever, done,
    But mad dogs and Englishmen
    Go out in the midday sun.
    —Noël Coward (1899–1973)

    You don’t hold any mystery for me, darling, do you mind? There isn’t a particle of you that I don’t know, remember, and want.
    —Noël Coward (1899–1973)

    Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear—not absence of fear. Except a creature be part coward it is not a compliment to say it is brave; it is merely a loose application of the word. Consider the flea!—incomparably the bravest of all the creatures of God, if ignorance of fear were courage.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
