Love life
and fear not death.
A living dog
is better than a dead lion.
Better to be alive,
and the slave of a pauper,
than the king of all the dead.
Apologies are useless to a dead man.
Everything a man has
he will give for his life.
Greater love has no man than this:
that he lay down his life for his friends.
Heroism is the choice
of a short and glorious life
over a long, obscure one.
Death is nature's way
of telling us to slow down.
Let the living look to the living
and let the dead past
bury its dead.
Life is unbearable,
but death isn't so pleasant either.
A hero must know when to die.
The unexamined life
is not worth living.
But then the unlived life
is not worth examining.
Life is too short to be small.
I heard a brief soundbite on CBS news this morning on the radio where perky Katie Couric was interviewing this boy.
Katie: "Would you rather have this medal or your dad?"
Boy: "I'd rather have my dad."
What a groundbreaking question Katie. I bet it took you at least one call to the DNC to come up with that one.
Selfless.
