"This century of ours has been marked most conspicuously by cowardice of the people everywhere.
It was by our cowardice that we were betrayed into the hands of corrupt men who promised to make life 'safe' for us and devoid of hazard, and robbed the adventurousness by which the spirits of men are strengthened.
It was by our Poltroonery that we lost our liberties.
It was by our fears that we almost died.
A brave people never become slaves."
[Taylor Caldwell,"The Devil's Advocate"(1952) -- pgs. 332 -- 338]
