The nature of a coward is to avoid death. If such a man courts peril there can be only two reasons. Either he is not a coward at all or there is no danger.
I think that for the coward every day carries a kind of death.
By nature of definition only the coward is capable of the highest heroism
There's no shame in fear. But understand this - the coward is ruled by fear, while the hero rides it like a wild stallion.
