I felt that one had better die fighting against injustice than to die like a dog or rat in a trap. I had already determined to sell my life as dearly as possible if attacked. I felt if I could take one lyncher with me, this would even up the score a little bit.

Ida B. Wells

There is no better way to die, than to die in the midst of a battle, fighting to the very end......like a man.

Enson Inoue

Better that we should die fighting than be outraged and dishonored... Better to die than to live in slavery.

Emmeline Pankhurst

Charles had once remarked that holding onto a resentment was like eating rat poison and waiting for the rat to die.

Anne Lamott

In fact, not forgiving is like drinking rat poison and then waiting for the rat to die.

Anne Lamott

Better to love God and die unknown than to love the world and bea hero; better to be content with poverty than to die a slave towealth; better to have taken some risks and lost than to havedone nothing and succeeded at it.

Erwin W. Lutzer

You had better all die - die immediately, than live as slaves and entail your wretchedness upon your posterity.

Henry Highland Garnet

I want my life to have had more value than just acquiring stuff and living comfortably. I may die rich, or I may die broke. But I won't die with my music still in me.

Steve Pavlina

Why now? Why not? Live or die, a man and a woman need love. There is a need in the race. We need to share. To belong. Perhaps you will die before the year is out. But remember this: to have may be taken from you, to have had never. Far better to have tasted love before dying, than to die alone.

David Gemmell

But you think that it is time for me to have done with the world, and so I would if I could get into a better before I was called into the best, and not die here in a rage, like a poisoned rat in a hole.

Jonathan Swift

To die trying would be better than to die without purpose.

Lauren DeStefano

Better to die of something than to die in old age of nothing.

Al Sharpton

Better to live or die, once and for all, than die by inches.

Homer

Do something you like that you feel is important. Don't worry about making money at it right away. If you try hard and long enough you will figure out a way to do it. Better to die happy than die rich.

Peter Menzel

A pretty girl is better than a plain one. A leg is better than an arm. A bedroom is better than a living room. An arrival is better that a departure. A birth is better than a death. A chase is better than a chat. A dog is better than a landscape. A kitten is better than a dog. A baby is better than a kitten. A kiss is better than a baby. A pratfall is better than anything.

Preston Sturges

Die - you will have to die. But die gracefully. I am not saying die like a stoic, I am not saying die like a very controlled man. No, I'm saying die gracefully, beautifully, as if a friend is coming, knocks at your door, and you are happy. And you embrace the friend and invite him in, and you have been waiting for him so long.
