Violence is the first refuge of the incompetent

The world has achieved brilliance without wisdom, power without conscience. Ours is a world of nuclear giants and ethical infants. We know more about war that we know about peace, more about killing that we know about living. ~Omar Bradley

The people to fear are not those who disagree with you, but those who disagree with you and are too cowardly to let you know.

To exercise power costs effort and demands courage. That is why so many fail to assert rights to which they are perfectly entitled - because a right is a kind of power but they are too lazy or too cowardly to exercise it. The virtues which cloak these faults are called patience and forbearance.
~Friedrich Nietzsche

The most cowardly thing in the world is blaming mistakes upon the umpires. Too many managers strut around on the field trying to manage the umpires instead of their teams.

An apology? Bah! Disgusting! Cowardly! Beneath the dignity of any gentleman, however wrong he might be.

America-bashing is addictive, born of power envy and nurtured by power lust among the weak, the cowardly and craven.
~Suzanne Fields

**Witmaster** · 08-10-2006, 07:11 PM

It is just as cowardly to judge an absent person as it is wicked to strike a defenseless one. Only the ignorant and narrow-minded gossip, for they speak of persons instead of things.
~Lawrence G. Lovasik

**Witmaster** · 08-10-2006, 07:12 PM

It is only the great hearted who can be true friends. The mean and cowardly, Can never know what true friendship means.
~Charles Kingsley

A book is like a man - clever and dull, brave and cowardly, beautiful and ugly. For every flowering thought there will be a page like a wet and mangy mongrel, and for every looping flight a tap on the wing and a reminder that wax cannot hold the feathers firm too near the sun.
~John Steinbeck

**Witmaster** · 08-10-2006, 07:14 PM

Love makes a subtle man out of a crude one, it gives eloquence to the mute, it gives courage the cowardly and makes the idle quick and sharp.
~Juan Ruiz

**Witmaster** · 08-10-2006, 07:17 PM

I must study politics and war that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy.

Give me the money that has been spent in war and I will clothe every man, woman, and child in an attire of which kings and queens will be proud. I will build a schoolhouse in every valley over the whole earth. I will crown every hillside with a place of worship consecrated to peace. ~Charles Sumner
