• Acusar a otro de tener los riñones, los pulmones o el corazón débiles no es un delito; por el contrario, decir que tiene un cerebro débil es un delito. Ser considerado estúpido y que te lo digan es más doloroso que ser llamado glotón, mendaz, violento, lascivo, perezoso, cobarde: cada debilidad, cada vicio, ha encontrado sus defensores, su retórica, su ennoblecimiento y exaltación, pero la estupidez no.

  Primo Levi

  Estúpido, Corazón, Cerebro

• Were I to deduce any system from my feelings on leaving Eton, it might be called The Theory of Permanent Adolescence. It is the theory that the experiences undergone by boys at the great public schools, their glories and disappointments, are so intense as to dominate their lives and to arrest their development. From these it results that the greater part of the ruling class remains adolescent, school-minded, self-conscious, cowardly, sentimental, and in the last analysis homosexual.

• There is a prayer intended to give strength to people faced with circumstances they don’t want to accept. The power of the prayer comes from it's insight into human nature. Because so many of us rage against the hand that life has dealt us. Because so many of us are cowardly. And afraid to stand up for what is right. Because so many of us give into despair when faced with an impossible choice. The good news for those who utter these words is that God will hear you and answer your prayer. The bad news is that sometimes the answer is no.

• Teach positively, never abuse kids in the teaching process. I believe it is cowardly to teach in a negative way, to insult players, or challenge their manhood.

• La muerte induce al sensual a decir: Comamos y bebamos, porque mañana moriremos - pero ésta es la cobarde lujuria de la sensualidad por la vida, ese despreciable orden de cosas donde uno vive para comer y beber en lugar de comer y beber para vivir.

• Porque tampoco la riqueza honra al que la posee, si es cobarde; de tal persona la riqueza pertenece a otro, y no a sí mismo. Tampoco la belleza y la fuerza del cuerpo, cuando habitan en un hombre vil y cobarde, parecen hermosas, sino lo contrario de hermosas, haciendo al poseedor más conspicuo, y manifestando su cobardía.

• Los hombres valientes nunca pierden las ganas de vivir aunque su situación vital no tenga nada que hacer; los hombres cobardes, abrumados por las incertidumbres de la vida, pierden las ganas de vivir. Debemos construir constantemente diques de coraje para contener la avalancha del miedo.

• Esta mañana, las noticias y las imágenes de televisión procedentes de Estados Unidos me han conmocionado. Es imposible comprender plenamente la maldad que ha conjurado un ataque tan cobarde y depravado contra miles de personas inocentes. No puede haber causa o agravio que pueda justificar una violencia tan incalificable. De hecho, un ataque de este tipo es un atentado no sólo contra los objetivos, sino una ofensa contra la libertad y los derechos de todas las naciones civilizadas.

• Es cobarde huir de los deberes naturales y asumir aquellos que se adaptan mejor a nuestro gusto o temperamento; pero también es imprudente adoptar una visión exagerada de los deberes personales, que excluye el cuidado adecuado de la mente y el cuerpo que nos han sido confiados.

• It is common to assume that human progress affects everyone - that even the dullest man, in these bright days, knows more than any man of, say, the Eighteenth Century, and is far more civilized. This assumption is quite erroneous. . . . The great masses of men, even in this inspired republic, are precisely where the mob was at the dawn of history. They are ignorant, they are dishonest, they are cowardly, they are ignoble. They know little if anything that is worth knowing, and there is not the slightest sign of a natural desire among them to increase their knowledge.

  H. L. Mencken

• I am religious by nature, I'm not a nihilist. I don't follow, I don't even know what the tenets of things like deconstructionism are, and all those schools that come up and their way of looking at things that people strive to incorporate into what they write. I don't even know what they are. Because I sense from a distance that I don't want to know. And therefore even if I had no politics, actual politics, my cultural point of view is hopelessly out of date with the modern literary sensibility. Which is nihilistic, and ironic, detached, cool, and cowardly.

• There are no brave men and cowardly men in the world, my son. There are only brave men. To be born, to live, to die—that takes courage enough in itself, and more than enough. We are all brave men and we are all afraid, and what the world calls a brave man, he too is brave and afraid like the all rest of us. Only he is brave for five minutes longer.

• I do not at all have the mind of a bully... in my mind bullies are intolerant of contrary opinion, domineering and rather cowardly. I would hope that none of those terms could be fairly used in describing me.

• "No te preocupes demasiado por tus sentimientos. Cuando sean humildes, amorosos, valientes, da gracias por ellos; cuando sean engreídos, egoístas, cobardes, pide que los modifiquen. En ninguno de los dos casos eres tú, sino sólo algo que te sucede. Lo que importa son tus intenciones y tu comportamiento

• War is a quarrel between two thieves too cowardly to fight their own battle; therefore they take boys from one village and another village, stick them into uniforms, equip them with guns, and let them loose like wild beasts against one other.

• But whenever I meet dynamic, nonretarded Americans, I notice that they all seem to share a single unifying characteristic: the inability to experience the kind of mind-blowing, transcendent romantic relationship they perceive to be a normal part of living. And someone needs to take the fall for this. So instead of blaming no one for this (which is kind of cowardly) or blaming everyone (which is kind of meaningless), I'm going to blame John Cusack.
