Quote by Mahatma Gandhi

Cowards can never be moral.

Cowards can never be moral.

Summary

This quote suggests that true morality requires courage. Cowards are unable to act morally because they are too fearful to confront difficult or challenging situations. Morality often involves standing up for what is right, even when it is unpopular or risky. It requires a level of bravery, conviction, and willingness to take action. Without this courage, individuals may seemingly act morally when there is no risk involved but fail to do so when faced with adversity. Thus, the quote asserts that cowardice and morality are incompatible.

Most of our censure of others is only oblique praise of self, uttered to show the wisdom and superiority of the speaker. It has all the invidiousness of self-praise, and all the ill-desert of falsehood.

The sea does not reward those who are too anxious, too greedy, or too impatient. One should lie empty, open, choiceless as a beach - waiting for a gift from the sea.

I don't know if high society is different in other cities, but in Hollywood, important people can't stand to be invited someplace that isn't full of other important people. They don't mind a few unfamous people being present because they make good listeners.
