Quote by Robert Green Ingersoll

Courage without conscience is a wild beast.

Courage without conscience is a wild beast.

Summary

This quote suggests that bravery or courage, when displayed without consideration for one's moral values or principles, can become dangerous and uncontrollable. Courage without conscience implies an individual who acts recklessly and without regard for the potential consequences of their actions. It emphasizes the importance of not only being brave but also being guided by a sense of ethics, moral responsibility, and an understanding of right and wrong. Without these guiding principles, courage risks degenerating into destructive behavior that can harm others and oneself.
