"To fear death, gentlemen, is no other..." - Quote by Socrates

“Fame is the perfume of heroic deeds.”

“The way to gain a good reputation is to endeavor to be what you desire to appear.”

“Is there anyone to whom you entrust a greater number of serious matters than your wife? And is there anyone with whom you have fewer conversations?”

“People take death lightly. They expect too much of life. That is why people take death lightly.”

“Till our King Henry had shook hands with Death.”

“To fear death, my friends, is only to think ourselves wise, without being wise: for it is to think that we know what we do not know. For anything that men can tell, death may be the greatest good that can happen to them: but they fear it as if they knew quite well that it was the greatest of evils. And what is this but that shameful ignorance of thinking that we know what we do not know?”

“Possession of arms implies an element of fear, if not of cowardice.”

“It is weakness which breeds fear, and fear breeds distrust.”

“I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.”
