Cowards die many times before their deaths; the valiant never taste of death but once.
Better have beasts that stand and let themselves be killed than men who run like rabbits.[Mieux vaut des bêtes qui se font tuer sur place que des hommes qui foutent le camp.]
As for cowardice in man: I can forgive the errors of a generation of women far more easily than one poltroon of the opposite gender.
A coward is a man who can foresee the future. A brave man is almost always without imagination.
