Quote by George Bernard Shaw

Man gives every reason for his conduct save one, every excuse for his crimes save one, every plea for his safety save one; and that one is his cowardice.


Man gives every reason for his conduct save one, every excus

Summary

This quote suggests that human beings often provide justifications, excuses, and pleas for their actions, behavior, and protection. They offer various reasons for their conduct, crimes, and safety, but they conveniently omit one crucial factor: their own cowardice. The quote implies that people tend to avoid acknowledging their fear and lack of bravery as a contributing factor to their decisions, actions, and desire for personal security. It highlights the tendency to deflect responsibility onto external factors rather than accepting the internal weakness that hinders their courageous choices.
