Quote by Aesop

It is easy to be brave from a safe distance.

It is easy to be brave from a safe distance.

Summary

This quote suggests that it is much easier to feel brave or courageous when one is removed from the actual danger or challenge. When we are observing a situation from afar or not directly involved, our perception of what it takes to be brave may be distorted. True bravery requires facing risks, difficulties, or threats directly and taking action despite the potential consequences. This quote serves as a reminder to not underestimate the difficulty of being truly brave in the face of danger or adversity.

This is an age of intellectual sauces, of essence, of distillation. We have conclusions without deductions, abridgments of history and abridgments of science without leading facts. We have animals for literature, Cabinet Encyclopaedias, Family Libraries, Diffusion Societies, and heaven knows what else! What is all this for? Not to add knowledge to the learned, but to tell points to the ignorant, without giving them the trouble to acquire the links. Oh! it is sad work. And the result will be injurious to all classes.
