“If I must die, then I will die boldly, as I have lived.”
“I must be gone and live, or stay and die.”
“The old man smiled. 'I shall not die of a cold, my son. I shall die of having lived.”
“I want to live," he said, "So I have to die.”
“I must die. Must I then die lamenting? I must be put in chains. Must I then also lament? I must go into exile. Does any man then hinder me from going with smiles and cheerfulness and contentment?”
“Lest I keep my complacent way I must remember somewhere out there a person died for me today. As long as there must be war, I ask and I must answer was I worth dying for?”
