Coward

Famous quotes containing the word coward:

    A Whig is properly what is called a Trimmer—that is, a coward to both sides of the question, who dare not be a knave nor an honest man, but is a sort of whiffling, shuffling, cunning, silly, contemptible, unmeaning negation of the two.
    William Hazlitt (1778–1830)

    Certain women should be struck regularly like gongs.
    —Noël Coward (1899–1973)

    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)
