Quote by Mahatma Gandhi

Fear has its use but cowardice has none.

Fear has its use but cowardice has none.

Summary

This quote suggests that fear serves a purpose in motivating or cautioning individuals in certain situations. Fear can be a natural response to danger or uncertainty, prompting us to assess risks and take appropriate actions to ensure safety. However, cowardice, which implies a lack of bravery or willingness to face fear, has no value. It implies a refusal to confront challenges or to stand up for what is right. While fear can be functional, cowardice is seen as a negative trait that hinders personal growth and potentially undermines one's integrity.

If I were to suggest that between the Earth and Mars there is a china teapot revolving about the sun in an elliptical orbit, nobody would be able to disprove my assertion provided I were careful to add that the teapot is too small to be revealed even by our most powerful telescopes. But if I were to go on to say that, since my assertion cannot be disproved, it is an intolerable presumption on the part of human reason to doubt it, I should rightly be thought to be talking nonsense. If, however, the existence of such a teapot were affirmed in ancient books, taught as the sacred truth every Sunday, and instilled into the minds of children at school, hesitation to believe in its existence would become a mark of eccentricity and entitle the doubter to the attentions of the psychiatrist in an enlightened age or of the Inquisitor in an earlier time.

It is what makes the reform process an art, not just a science. You have to develop a strategy that tells you what reform measures you should follow and in what sequence.
