Quote by Akhenaton

As the ostrich when pursued hideth his head, but forgetteth his body; so the fears of a coward expose him to danger.


As the ostrich when pursued hideth his head, but forgetteth

Summary

This quote uses the metaphor of an ostrich hiding its head when pursued to illustrate the behavior of a coward. Just like the ostrich, who thinks it is safe by hiding its head but forgets that the rest of its body is still exposed to danger, a coward's fears push them towards risky situations. In their attempt to avoid confrontation or face their fears, cowards often overlook the underlying threats and become vulnerable to harm. The quote highlights how evading fear does not guarantee safety, but rather can lead to even greater risks.
