Coward

Famous quotes containing the word coward:

    The coward wants resolution, which the brave man can do without. He recognizes no faith above a creed, thinking this straw by which he is moored does him good service, because his sheet anchor does not drag.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    The stately Homes of England,
    How beautiful they stand,
    To prove the upper classes
    Have still the upper hand.
    —Noël Coward (1899–1973)

    In Rangoon the heat of noon
    Is just what the natives shun.
    They put their Scotch or rye down
    And lie down.
    —Noël Coward (1899–1973)
