Quote by Mahatma Gandhi

Fear has its use but cowardice has none.

Fear has its use but cowardice has none.

Summary

This quote suggests that fear serves a purpose in motivating or cautioning individuals in certain situations. Fear can be a natural response to danger or uncertainty, prompting us to assess risks and take appropriate actions to ensure safety. However, cowardice, which implies a lack of bravery or willingness to face fear, has no value. It implies a refusal to confront challenges or to stand up for what is right. While fear can be functional, cowardice is seen as a negative trait that hinders personal growth and potentially undermines one's integrity.
