#coward

We are ashamed to seem evasive in the presence of a straightforward man, cowardly in the presence of a brave one, gross in the eyes of a refined one, and so on. We always imagine, and in imagining share, the judgments of the other mind. ↗

Stupid as a man, say the women: cowardly as a woman, say the men. Stupidity in a woman is unwomanly. ↗

Woman and men of retiring timidity are cowardly only in dangers which affect themselves, but the first to rescue when others are in danger. ↗
