Reflection makes men cowards.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
In sum, thought and reflection have been rendered thoroughly pointless by the circumstances in which modern men and women live and act.
Reflection is not something you have a lot of time for.
Cowardice and courage are never without a measure of affectation. Nor is love. Feelings are never true. They play with their mirrors.
At the bottom of not a little of the bravery that appears in the world, there lurks a miserable cowardice. Men will face powder and steel because they have not the courage to face public opinion.
In silence and movement you can show the reflection of people.
Without reflection, we go blindly on our way, creating more unintended consequences, and failing to achieve anything useful.
For all men would be cowards if they durst.
They only babble who practise not reflection.
To reflect is to disturb one's thoughts.
That men have an interest in knowing the world which surrounds them, and consequently that their reflection should have been applied to it at an early date, is something that everyone will readily admit.
