All enchantments die; only cowards die with them.
Charles Morgan

Blair... is accusing us of executing British soldiers. We want to tell him that we have not executed anybody. They are either killed in battle, most of them get killed because they are cowards anyway, the rest they just get captured.
Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf

Bullies are always cowards at heart and may be credited with a pretty safe instinct in scenting their prey.
Anna Julia Cooper

John Gay

Cowards die many times before their actual deaths.
Julius Caesar

Cowards die many times before their deaths; the valiant never taste of death but once.

Death, after all, is the common expectation from birth. Neither heroes nor cowards can escape it.
Ellis Peters

Even cowards can endure hardship; only the brave can endure suspense.
Mignon McLaughlin

Fatigue makes cowards of us all.
Vince Lombardi

Fighting is like champagne. It goes to the heads of cowards as quickly as of heroes. Any fool can be brave on a battlefield when it's be brave or else be killed.
Margaret Mitchell

For all men would be cowards if they durst.
John Wilmot

Great occasions do not make heroes or cowards; they simply unveil them to the eyes of men. Silently and imperceptibly, as we wake or sleep, we grow strong or weak; and at last some crisis shows what we have become.
Brooke Foss Westcott

Heroes are not known by the loftiness of their carriage; the greatest braggarts are generally the merest cowards.
Jean Jacques Rousseau

I always disliked dogs, those protectors of cowards who lack the courage to fight an assailant themselves.
August Strindberg

I am not accustomed to pay fulsome compliments to the English, by telling them that they are superior to all the world; but this I can say, that they do not deserve the name of cowards.
Richard Cobden

I have learned to live each day as it comes, and not to borrow trouble by dreading tomorrow. It is the dark menace of the future that makes cowards of us.
Dorothy Dix

In battle it is the cowards who run the most risk; bravery is a rampart of defense.
Sallust

Obstacles are like wild animals. They are cowards but they will bluff you if they can. If they see you are afraid of them... they are liable to spring upon you; but if you look them squarely in the eye, they will slink out of sight.
Orison Swett Marden

People who keep dogs are cowards who haven't got the guts to bite people themselves.
August Strindberg

Reflection makes men cowards.
William Hazlitt
