उत्तर
Few adverse human qualities
- Dishonest
- Selfish
- Mean
- Arrogant
- Rude
- Cruel
- Close-minded
- Hypocritic
- Greedy
- Cowardly
The proverb can be explained that a coward is afraid of anything and everything. However, a brave person is not afraid of any dangers and perils. This statement is found in Shakespeare's 'Julius Caesar', Caesar stated that cowards die many times before their deaths. The valiant would never taste death but once. Cowards fear for one or the other reason. A coward runs away from any danger. It is built in a person from childhood. Such persons normally seek other's help to get their work done. A brave person on the other hand faces any danger without fear and faces it boldly. Fearlessness is a characteristic quality of a great hero. The proverb thus signifies that cowards die many times as they are so scared. We should imbibe in young children from childhood to be brave and bold and not be cowards. Such brave persons are valued in society and have high regard and reach great heights and positions in life.
