Hosea Bible

William Shakespeare

I came to believe it not true that "the coward dies a thousand deaths, the brave man only one." I think it is the other way around: It is the brave who die a thousand deaths.

A fool and a wise man are alike both in the starting-place--their birth, and at the post--their death; only they differ in the race of their lives.
