Quote by Benjamin Disraeli

Courage is fire, and bullying is smoke.

Courage is fire, and bullying is smoke.

Summary

This quote suggests that true courage is the powerful force that drives individuals to stand up for what is right, while bullying represents a superficial and deceptive display of power. It insinuates that courage is the essence, the fiery core that empowers one to confront fears and face challenges head-on. On the other hand, bullying is depicted as mere smoke, implying that it lacks substance and is ultimately fleeting and unimpressive. Ultimately, the quote imparts the idea that courage is the genuine strength, while bullying is merely an illusion of power.
