________________ YOUTH 47 Brave and Coward What is the difference between the brave and the coward ? The difference is just of one step. Whereas the step of the brave always goes forwards, the step of the coward goes backwards. The brave leaves the mark of his idealism on the battle-field, and attains immortality by embracing death. The coward runs away from the battle-field and dies the death of a dog. 0, Man of Action ! Are you a brave man of action ? If so, why this lethargy ? Why this dosing and yawning? For you the Himalayas are not too high, the oceans are not too deep. If you just rouse your sleeping powers and collect, them, the whole world will fawn at your feet. If you wish you can convert hatred into love, animosity into sympathy, darkness into light, death into life, nay, hell into heaven.
