“It is always better to die like a hero than live like a coward.”
“I'd rather die like a man, than live like a coward”
“Better a live coward than a dead hero, I've always believed. Sure people will still sing about dead heroes from time to time, but aside from that they get little attention. Unless they manage to get a holiday named after them. Even then, it’s not like they get to enjoy the day off.”
“The funny thing is, I was never much of a fighter. Better a live coward than a dead hero, that was my motto.”
“The real hero is always a hero by mistake; he dreams of being an honest coward like everybody else.”
“What people would like is that a coward or a hero be born that way.”
