“A thousand times a coward and not once a dead man”
“A coward dies a thousand times, a soldier dies but once.”
“Cowards die a thousand deaths, but the brave only die once.”
“The coward dies a thousand deaths, the brave but one'.... (The man who first said that) was probably a coward.... He knew a great deal about cowards but nothing about the brave. The brave dies perhaps two thousand deaths if he's intelligent. He simply doesn't mention them.”
“A coward dies a thousand times before his death, but the valiant taste of death but once. It seems to me most strange that men should fear, seeing that death, a necessary end, will come when it will come.”
“I would rather a thousand times be a free soul in jail than to be a sycophant and coward in the streets.”
