"Cowardice is no virtue...." - Quote by Swami Vivekananda

“What we call powers, secrets of nature, and force, are all within. In the external world are only a series of changes.”

“All differences in this world are of degree, and not of kind, because oneness is the secret of everything.”

“Always discriminate-your body, your house, the people and the world are all absolutely unreal like a dream. Always think that the body is only an inert instrument. And the Atman within is your real nature.”

“Though violence is not lawful, when it is offered in self-defense or for the defense of the defenseless, it is an act of bravery far better than cowardly submission. The latter befits neither man nor woman. Under violence, there are many stages and varieties of bravery. Every man must judge this for himself. No other person can or has the right.”

“A coward is incapable of exhibiting love; it is the prerogative of the brave.”

“Humour is the most engaging cowardice. With it myself I have been able to hold some of my enemy in play far out of gunshot.”

“A tragic situation exists precisely when virtue does not triumph but when it is still felt that man is nobler than the forces which destroy him.”

“Courage is the greatest virtue because it guarantees all the rest.”

“The happy life is regarded as a life in conformity with virtue. It is a life which involves effort and is not spent in amusement.”
