Cowards die many times before their death

Shakespeare’s Julias Ceaser said, “Cowards die many times before their death” to brush aside his wife’s fears and superstitions. He declared this with the assertion that the valiant would never taste of death but once.

Man in mortal and one day he must die. A courageous man will die but once. But the cowards experience death-like suffering thousands of times in their life before actual death.

Cowards move always under the shadow of fear of death. They fear their car to turn turtle, their vessel to capsize, their plane to catch fire, and their house-roof to fall down. They feel death lying in waiting for them in all conceivable corners with the result that they feel shaky and diffident in any enterprise.

A brave man takes up a cause and fights for it unto the last. He never flinches from it for fear of consequences and thus the valiant alone wins the laurels of victory.
